"Still the one..."

Happy Valentines Day!

Twenty-two years ago, a very sweet, handsome young man gave me a small diamond and asked me again, to marry him. It was a tiny rock, but to me, it didn't matter, it could have been a ring fashioned out of tinfoil as far as I was concerned. Ostentatious wealth meant nothing to me then and certainly doesn't now.  As always it was the sentiment that meant the most.

He had already romantically proposed (on bended knee, in front of a fireplace, I should add) on Groundhogs Day.  I accepted, and both of us, drunk on love (among other things), and armed with the fearlessness of youth embarked on our epic journey.

We had no way of knowing, and probably wouldn't have cared, where that journey would take us, and what we would conquer together. Our motto as always was keep moving, stick together, and take care of each other. 

We'd both had other relationships, been 'in love', but nothing came close to the bond we had then, have now and continue to forge as we move into the next phase of our lives together.

Kevin, you're my closest confidant, my loving husband, and my best friend. And even though I know you'll probably never read this, I want you to know, I love you more now than I did then, and I'll continue to love you until I draw my last breath. 

Happy Valentine's Day.
