8th Wedding Anniversary

My dearest Kelly,

Rain is slowly pouring from the sky. Its water feeding the trees, nurturing the earth, and helping nature grow and be alive. It's the circle of life and it will continue on until the end of time. Unlike our love, nature can dry out and the beautiful life of it will be on hold. How much love we share each day is unknowable, but our love will never be on a standstill. My body is fed by your devotion every single time I inhale the crisp air we breathe, and my heart pounds harder and faster every time I feel your presence near. I miss you when I'm far and I can't get enough of you when I'm close. 

As I sit here watching you sleep, I get overwhelmed with the feeling of happiness and joy. Tears appear in my eyes because I realize that nothing in this world will ever be impossible to conquer with you by my side. You are like a good luck charm to the poor and a Porsche to the wealthy. 



Your presence is simply here and you were never so familiar to me. It feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though I am remembering who you are. Every smile and every whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known you before, I have loved you before - in another time, a different place, some other existence! I close my eyes and start reminiscing about the wonderful memories we've already made, and I smile, because I know this is just the beginning.



You light up my world like a lantern in the dark and your beauty shines through like the sun on a sunny afternoon. I love the way your curls fall right after a hot shower and the way you look at me for no reason at all. I am head over heels in love with you and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. 



It's now been eight years since we said "I Do!" and even though we've had our good and bad times, I wouldn't change a thing. You have become more than just my wife - you've become a necessity! A requirement to be able to breathe, a shelter for all my love, and a longing to have in my life. I love you so deeply that I have to pinch myself from time to time to make sure this is real. Never would I have thought that I'm capable of loving with so much passion and getting the same in return. My love for you will forever be unconditional and I will protect you like a mother bear is protecting her cub. 




Baby, these eight years have been a hell of a ride, but never mind how bad it gets, you are the one who keeps me sane. When I'm down you're the one who lifts me up and when I'm flying high you're the one who reminds me that the sky is the limit. You are the most amazing woman in this entire universe and I'm the luckiest guy because you've chosen to love me. I'm so much in love with you that I still can't put it in words. Perhaps one day, 50 years from now, when we're sitting in our rocking chairs on the porch of our house, I'll be able to truly describe how much you really mean to me. Until then, I'll continue loving you beyond our measurements, with every single fabric of my being and with every breath I take - every single day of the rest of our life - and beyond time!  



Happy Anniversary, Baby!

Love always,

Your Simon
