Congratulations!

I see now that you are not in the way of the happiness I’ve sought.

You are the way.

You’re just what the Doctor ordered- just who I needed to love, and just who I’ve needed to be loved by.

So, no matter how I feel from day to day- notwithstanding my inclination is to live in disappointment, I promise you now, that if you will do the same, I will continue to love you and serve you with all my heart.  

I will lift you, grow with you and take care of you.  I will come to know you- every part of you- every little feeling- every dream- every fear and every yearning.  I will hear you when you need to be heard.  I will see you when you feel invisible.  I will hurt with you when you hurt, laugh with you when you laugh, learn to care about what you care about and learn to do and say the things that make you feel the most loved.  

But more so, I will be patient with you as you learn to love me.  Because I know it’s not always easy to love me.  

Thank you for your love.  Thank you so much for your love.  I do feel it.  

Thank you for being my partner.  Thank you for our marriage— a marriage that is giving me a chance to find my Heavenly Father in a way I might not ever have been able to— to feel the peace He knows, and in a small sense, to be the love that He is.

You can count on me.

You can count on me to find you if you get lost and to love you when you don’t feel lovable, because I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I will always be here- in bitter or sweet, in the good times or bad, in life and in death, I will be here-- and in being here, give more to you, to our children, to God and to everyone on this planet, than I ever could have, in any other way.  

You can count on me to love you.
