Christopher

Happy anniversary sweetheart.

I love you. What an incredible, loving husband and father you are. What amazing changes have come from the first picture to the second. It's been quite the ride. I don't know how to express to you in words what you mean to me...to us. What I do know is that you truly have become my other half. There may be days when I want to beat you up - but you have become so much a part of me that sometimes it's hard to see where I end and you begin. Thank you for loving me, listening to me, believing in me, laughing with me...

What's in store in the next 8 years?

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;

so I love you because I know no other way ` than this:

where I does not exist, nor you,

so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,

so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
-Pablo Neruda-
