My dearest Jan,
Three years ago, I embarked on an incredible
journey,
a journey that began a process of healing
and hope for my tormented heart.
I
discovered in you a strength that knows no bounds; a trust that is unending.
You,
with quiet determination, have shown me how two people, lost in a sea of uncertainty and loneliness,
have
found something in each other that only God can understand.
Together,
we will face the challenges that lie before us with confidence, and hope.
With
you by my side, I am comforted in the knowlege that I need not be anything but myself.
Your smiles cheer me each day, your laughter
embraces me, and your tender tears wash away the hurt
and fear that lies so deep in my soul.
The beauty that comes from deep within your
heart holds such promises for happiness and joy
in the coming tomorrows;
and in you I see such truth, honesty, integrity,
and love.
Those
three little words, "I love you" have taken on new meaning,
and create in me such a feeling of peace
and tranquility.
I
give to you my heart, my devotion, my trust and fidelity for whatever time God has given us on this earth.
I
share with you my faith in God, and my belief in you and all you do.
No
man could ever ask for more than you have given me,
and
the happiness we've found in each other fills my heart with unspeakable joy.
We
will walk together, side by side, equal in every way, facing whatever challenges that lie ahead.
In
the words of one of our favorite songs,
I ask that you "Grow Old Along With Me",
for truly....the best is yet to be!
I
love you with all my heart!
