My loves, 16 years is a long time to put up with each other - and in the year I’ve been a part of your orbit, I’ve witnessed countless ways that you love and honor each other in the most gentle, intense, and beautiful expressions. I’m honored to be a part of this life you share and I love you so dearly. You amaze me.
