For Lindsey's Birthday

Lindsey, this blog has been your diary for several years now. It contains priceless insights into your heart and allows so many, even me, to glimpse at the depth of true love, dedication and gentle tenderness you have inside you. Thank you for keeping this blog. Now it’s my turn to have a go…

Happy Birthday Lindsey, I Love you! I still feel the same youthful, giddy crush today that I had when we were in Jr. High and High school. I still get excited about being with you and I love you, just like I did then. Only, the roots of my love for you have anchored so much deeper in my heart than they were seventeen years ago. Since then we have weathered some pretty strong storms, storms that no one should have to face… But we have confronted them together and as a result our relationship has been tested and proved stronger than any of us could have imagined and we have done more than any one of us could do on our own. That is what I love about us; we are together, we do things together, we love to be together. 

I love that you put up with me so well. I am sorry for all of my shortcomings and weaknesses. But, being with you makes me want to be better and because you are with me I know I can do it. You are such strength to me, you are my motivation, you are the reason I can do everything I do. There have been countless periods in my life when I thought it would be impossible to love you more. I look back at those times and realize that my love has grown beyond what I could’ve imagined and I cannot picture my life without you, you are the girl that I will love forever. Thank you for being my bride, wife, friend and lover. I cannot fathom loving anyone or anything more than I love you, but I have thought that before, and know that in the years to come I will love you deeper, stronger and greater. I look forward to that and our future together. Happy Birthday my Nena, thank you for making me so happy.

Happy Birthday!

Love forever,

Whit
