Dear Andy,
I want you to know how proud and thankful I am to be your wife. You and I have been through a lot together, but it has only made us stronger as individuals, and as a couple. I have so many memories during our dark days that remind me just how much you love me:
- Sleeping on a cold, tile hospital floor while I was having a miscarriage.
- Standing by Dad's bedside with me as he was dying.
- Allowing me to spend so much time with Greg in his final few weeks of life.
- Lying awake countless nights with me while I cried over our precious Georgia Rose.
- Conspiring with Steven to make Christmas '09 one that I would never forget. And I could go on and on.....
When I was a little girl, all I really wanted to do when I grew up was to marry a really hot, awesome man and have lots of kids. That dream has come true! You are everything I hoped for in a husband and so much more. The world would be a better place if every man was as committed to their wife and kids as you are.
My daddy used to say, "I could have looked the world over and would have never found any man I liked any better to marry my baby." You are the only boyfriend I ever had who met Dad because you were the only one I felt was worthy. I knew he would love you and you and your accomplishments made him SO proud.
So, thank you for loving me despite my many, many screw-ups. Thank you for always being a rock I can lean on and for being my very best friend. Thank you for your commitment to your family. Words can't express my love for you. I am so thankful God chose you to be MINE!
I love you,
Jill
