Love Note to Straight Shooter

My Best Friend and Loving Wife,


After 17 years of marriage I wanted to write down my thoughts to tell you how much you mean to me. And post it for all of your bloggy friends to see. I searched through cards, books, and online to find the perfect words to describe my feelings for you. Nothing I read even came close, although, I did come across some pretty good porn sites.

There is no way to adequately express my feelings. Saying you are my best friend and loving wife is not enough, because you are more than that. I guess the only thing I can say is “I love you.”

Those are powerful words. Words I never say to anyone with any meaning behind them. I even go so far as to avoid them. But for you, they are the only words that I can think of using.

You hold my hand through sickness and health, and occasionally kick my ass when I whine a bit too much. You listen to me bitch and do not judge me for being an idiot. I find peace when I am around you. I draw on your incredible storehouse of strength. You keep me sane during periods of total insanity.

Moments I spend in your company may seem insignificant to you, but for me, they are life changing because I know I am safe. I was truly blessed the day I met you. You are the person I know I can turn to when I need help, or need to smile.

You are more stunning than I could ever describe. Whenever I look at you, I am overwhelmed with your beauty. You are perfect in every way. You are my angel. You allow me to be a part of your life. You allow me to be your friend. And on occasion you allow me to be your big studly man. (OK maybe not studly, or big anymore, and not nearly as often as you want, but you still let me be the MAN.) You listen and laugh with me, and more often than not, laugh at me. But that is ok, because I know I am a dork.

I know that I do not deserve you, but for whatever reason, God showed me a glimpse of heaven in your heart. You are the most amazing person I have ever known.

I love you. I will always love you.

Happy Anniversary Sweetie.
