When we lie in bed,
and reminisce,
late at night,
in the dark,
my body warm next to yours,
please remember that you changed me,
for the better.
You helped me,
a better father,
a better husband,
a better human being.
You taught me
"Kodak moments",
unconditional love,
the language of emotions.
Our children are grateful, too!
Before you,
Connecting was hard.
My life is richer.
The life of everyone who knows me
is richer.
Don't believe the little voices
that whisper,
"You are not worthy!"
Instead,
celebrate!
Years of work,
years of caring,
years of heart.
And together,
we smile
and hug
and love.
