For Gil. . .

I don't know how many women get to feel loved the way I feel loved. I know I am grateful for how much you love me. I am grateful for how you pursued me even when I wasn't sure. I am grateful for how you have put up with me, cared for me when I was sick, did everything in your power to make my dreams come true. You believe in me in a way I can't even believe in myself and I truly feel like the most beautiful, important woman alive when you are around. You always see the best in me, I don't know how and I don't know why but I am so grateful that God put you in my path and helped me to see the gift that you are. When I look at all the mistakes I have made, all the regrets I have, at least I know that I chose well when I chose you. I don't always make the best decisions but in this instance I did make the best one. You are the best life partner a woman can have. You seek to grow with me, to live an adventure, and you always want me to be happy. I know for sure that I light up your world and nothing makes a girl feel better than knowing that. So tonight I am grateful for you Gil. . . my life partner, my lover, my best friend.
