We’ve had such a tough year together- I’d say the roughest one yet. All the bittersweet memories are still fresh, feeling the tension and release that cold, sunny day at your house, literally starting off this year without her. Learning to suddenly accept someone new into your life and family. Almost losing you for good over stubborn behavior and selfishness…and how could I forget your ongoing injury, becoming temporarily disabled, having to completely modify your lifestyle? You’re almost a totally different person, physically & emotionally. All the complications and tragedies life has thrown at us this year has made me realize how tough you really are. How much you’ve grown; you’re amazing. It’s reaffirmed that you’re the one I wanna stick around with because I’ve seen how well we make things work. You pick me up and help me breathe when I panic. I ease your pain when you’re afraid to break down. 

Although this year was awfully brutal, it’s showed me a side to us I didn’t know we could handle. You’re so incredible.

Here’s to seven years. I love you, ha!?
