i can’t believe what i’m about to say. ten years with the most beautiful, loving, caring, intelligent, kind, talented, funny, and amazing person i’ve ever known. you shine a light in every room you walk into and you make everyone around you feel so warm. you’re the best thing about me, and i wake up every day knowing how lucky i am to have you in my life. every step of the road - be it smooth, sandy, hot, or icy, i would walk again, because growing alongside you is a once in a lifetime gift which i will never take for granted. happy anniversary al.
