To Ryan on our first anniversary…
My, what a year it has been. Yet, it doesn’t even feel like a whole year has gone by. I never suspected in my life that I could ever be so happy. I always knew that I’d get married and have children. But just imagining those times happening just can’t compare.
This year, although hard at times and shocking at other times, has brought me joy that I’ve never felt before. I never knew joy like this. I never thought I’d live for someone else: to believe in someone else’s dreams, to wish for someone else’s success and ultimate happiness. But I live for you.
I want you to know how much I respect you as a husband and father. I never imagined I’d have the privilege of being married to such a wonderful man. Seeing you with our daughters melts my heart. You are so tender and gentle. Our girls are so lucky to have such a caring father. And I want you to know that I am so very proud of all you have accomplished. Starting up a business isn’t easy, and it does take a while to really get going, but I see that you have worked so very hard to build this business for the betterment of your family. You have done a great job and I have never been disappointed. I am proud of you every day.
No one can ever say “Rachel could have married a better guy” because I married the best guy. I really don’t deserve you, but I thank God every day for letting me be a part of your life. You have made me a better person this year. I only wish I can continue to live up to your expectations as a wife and mother.
As long as we’re together, I have no fears… I love you so very much. Thank you for this year, and many more years to come…
Your adoring wife
