My dearest husband,

You are my very breath! Every breath I breath is for you ~ for our family~ for our life here that we are making for ourselves.

Everything I do evolves around you! Every task, every meal, every job, every wiped nose, dried tear, cleaned spill, every moment I give is for you~~~ for your happiness and for your love.

This life is a mere moment, a small span and time, yet I would be bereft if any moment was spent without your love. The days are long when you are gone and my heart beats slower when I miss you. When I see your truck pull in the drive way a smile lights my lips and my heartbeat picks up and tingles go from the top of my head to my very toes because you are home and my arms can touch you and my lips can kiss you.

Life comes at us fast and our days are filled with many menial tasks, but everything counts and every action means so much because we are doing it for our love and our family.

Darling, where ever you need to be is where I need to be. I want to be your greatest cheerleader! I want you to feel like you have the BIGGEST fan club ever !!! ME ME ME!! I want to be by your side every step and every moment.

I know that you feel far from the Lord right now. Maybe even you think He doesn’t care about you anymore. Perhaps you think He has left you to dangle without direction. He has NOT! If you think I love you and my heartbeats for you OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN’S heart beats faster and quicker than any kind of earthly love. He has been the glue to this marriage. He has been the leader and guide to me in learning submission, keeping the home and loving it, bearing children with joy and walking with a heart that seeks good for you (and the children)

Matt, you once said that you don’t know why God gave me to you, I ask the same question. I wonder why the Lord gave me a man who loves me no matter what (fat or skinny or pregnant) , you love with all your being and care so deeply. I know people say you are the best father they know and that you can be with children and bless them. It fills my heart with such JOY that I could burst when I see you loving our children (parts of you and I)

You are a man of integrity! You work diligently and the fruit of your hands is wonderful. When I look at this home and all your hard work!!!!!!!!! My heart feels faint! This was/isn’t an easy task BUT you did it and continue to do it!!!! I love what you have made for me here! I love living in the home you made for me!

My dear valentine. My love and friend, this is just a day in the year, but may this be the FIRST day if a year filled with love and understanding toward each other!

I love you MATTHEW !!! Thank you for making me your wife and KEEPING me your wife.

I love you FOREVER!!

Brandy
