because you madly adore your daughter and are so very dedicated
to her and that beautiful soul she is growing into.

because you will do art with me and take pictures with me.
because you know what really matters.
because you are a good man, an honest man, a man with deep integrity.

because you are so patient with my complicated self.

because you make me feel pretty.
because you are very strong and very sensible when drama hits the stage.

because you are always willing to work on things.

because you love the farm, the woods, the open roads, and totally get the sacred of simplicity.

because there is no one in this entire universe that could ever make me as happy as you, and by the way,
you are so frickin' handsome it gets me all crushed out.

i love you in my life.
