This week has been so tough. Not only did I watch as my country made a huge mistake, but I didn't have you here to give me a hug, and to give me an ear to vent. I missed our conversations in the dark at night, I missed your council. You are my best friend. We'll get through these next years, because we're together.

How fortunate I am that I have you in my life. We have so much we share and value . I know people who have topics they can't discuss with there spouse, and others' who have secrets they can never tell, and I realize how fortunate we are to have each other. I know we'll always have those little things that drive us crazy - like my leaving paper towels in the sink and you leaving your pants on the floor, but those things don't matter. What matters is your a great father, a wonderful husband and my best friend. .... this little public display of affection is just to say thank you for being you and I love you.
