to my amazing wife...

You mean the world to me. There are so many things I truly admire about you as a person, as my best friend and as my wife and partner. Even though you go through frustrating days and sleepless nights, you don't give up. You are a fighter. You may get down but you are never out. I love that about you.

Your smile makes my dark days brighter and when I see it, it makes me melt inside. I love that about you.

You are the most thoughtful and caring person I've ever met. You truly care about others and are always mindful of the feelings of those around you. Always willing to help others - no questions asked. You are my role model. I love that about you.

I enjoy the journey of discovering all there is that comprises you. You are beautiful in all the moments you aren't trying to be. Every no make-up sweatpants no shower morning hair moment is a treasure - and you never know it. I love that about you.

You are sometimes picky about the smallest things. While I don't always understand it, I wouldn't change it for the world. Changing that would be changing you - and I'd like to keep you just the way you are because...I love that about you.

You help me grow as a person. You haven't let me stagnate in this relationship. I relax into things very easily and become complacent. You have kept me on the ball and expanding as a person. I love that about you.

You ask me why or what I love about you and the list could go on forever. I especially love and appreciate that you are carrying our precious little angel and truly wish everyday that there were something I could do to alleviate your pain.

All in all, I love spending every moment of everyday with you.
