You Remember The Important Stuff

I love that you remember the important stuff like my Valentine's cookie. It may seem silly to everyone else, but that makes soooooo happy. To me, it's a symbol that someone loves me unconditionally. No matter how bad I was all year long, my mom would always make me a cookie for Valentine's. Now, it's YOU! You remember all the other good stuff that makes me happy too. Like what kind of chips I like, and other important things of that nature :)

Happy Valentine's !

I love that you are my Valentine! I remember the first heartbreak experience I ever had was when I was in 2nd grade. My teacher, Miss Saltern, was a fox! I was so in love with her. She drew MY name out of the jar to be her "date" for the Valentine lunch they had at my school. It turned out I was sick that day and had to watch her go with the Asian kid instead of me(I could see them from my house across the street). I hated Valentine's for years after that! Now, I don't ever have to worry about who my date will be. I have YOU forever. That's a great feeling and I love you for it!

Miss You

I LOVE how much I miss you...wait, I HATE, no...LOVE. I don't know. I just miss you! I love that not being with you all the time can make paradise pointless. I love that not having you by my side makes every accomplishment seem menial. I love that not having you with at night makes it hard to sleep. I hate not hearing your voice. I miss your smell. Particularly your hair when I'm hugging you. I REALLY miss you laying on me on the couch while we watch a movie and I stroke your hair with my non-munching hand. I love that I don't want to watch movies without you. I love that I don't want to eat out, or go to the beach, or spend money on ANYTHING if you're not with me to experience it. I didn't realize how much I NEED you to be happy till now, having to face a long time without you. This is so hard, because I love you so much.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! I love you for being born! I love that you are in this world at the same time as me, that we miraculously happened to "bump" into each other at opportune times in our life, and that everything since the day you came into the world until now has coincidentally brought us together. It makes me very happy. I wish you the happiest freakin' day a beautiful girl like you deserves! I love, love, love you.

Great Mother

I've known from the beginning that you would always be a great mother to my kids! You are gentle and sensitive and you have a natural maternal instinct. I have shown frustration at times about how much Dane leans on you, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It just shows how successful you've been at making a connection with him! You are great at singing him songs, and teaching him things, and making sure that his needs are met. I trust you with the source of my greatest happiness. I love how much you freak out when you think he's in danger, or you see him get hurt. I could sing your praises all day about this. I can't wait to have more with you!

Caring

I love how caring you are. I will always remember how comforted I felt when you took such good care of me the first time I was sick with you. I recall you being vary sensitive the first time you saw me throw up...in our kitchen sink...even though I was naked when it happened. I have always known that you will be a great companion in that sense. I know you will always take care of me, and I you. I got reassured of it the other night when I was hot in bed and couldn't fall asleep. I kicked all the covers off and asked if you would cover me in the night if I got cold (which I always do). You said,"Don't worry Bear. I'll take care of you." The best part is that you always keep your word on stuff like that.

Family

I love how important your family is to you! I don't hear you guys say "I love you" a lot, but I've noticed you say it in other ways. This last Christmas I could tell how important it was just to "be" with your parents. It doesn't matter what you do, or what you eat, or even what you talk about. It just matters to you that you show them they're important enough to visit every chance you get. And I love that about you. It's a quiet devotion, and it's very sincere.
