Occasionally, you do something right. Thirteen years ago, I did just that. I married the man of my dreams and I can say without doubt or regret, that it was so right. He has been a faithful companion, always at my side, always the model of compassion and grace. He has taught me to love with abandon and how to listen to that inner voice when life gets too loud. He believed in my dreams when I gave up on them. He championed all my causes and fought battles for me when I was weary. When life felt like it was against me, he took my side. He has been my first thought and my last thought for as long as I can remember. He is an amazing father, a faithful lover, a stellar chef, a worthy adversary in every water fight and the best person I know. Most of all, he has been my true friend. It is looking into his eyes and within his embrace that I feel most loved and cherished. Sometimes, you do something right. In this case, something right chose me. For this, I am eternally grateful.

I love you with all that I am. Happy Anniversary!
