My love

I knew from the first moment I met you that you were something special. You were my person, my protector, my heart for 23 years of my life. You gave me a family and you built my confidence, and loved me more than anyone has ever done. I will love you always and continue to raise our kids so that you will be so proud of them. Watch over us and help keep us strong my love. Rest easy my love.
