Thank you for loving me in silence.

For taking the time to remind myself that I put too much sugar in my breakfast, for knowing myself well enough to know when I’m happy or sad, disappointed or overwhelmed.

In the silence, I notice everything you do—how you hold my hand when I’m having a bad time, how you hold me a little tighter when I see something that makes me sad.

Thank you for choosing me everyday.

For fighting for what we have when the difficulty is heavy, for insisting that we are stronger together, capable of proving that our love is stronger than anything and that we are full of potential to transform even the worst difficulties into the best lessons, into seeds that cultivate.

Thank you for always showing how much you care for me.

For the “good morning” messages during the week and for the letters you leave scattered around the house. Thank you for making me a part of your life, even when we’re apart—for the calls over lunch, for the pictures you send me when you’re bored. Thanks for making me miss you.
