I love you so much!!! I just can't seem to say it enough. Crazy to think that 1 year ago I was blushing like a school girl trying to focus on teaching door manners to Sadie and Violet. I knew I wanted to know everything about you the second I saw you on the couch in sweats, a hoodie and those sexy potato shoes.

Without question, you have completely changed my life. I've told you before, but I never knew that this kind of love existed. So, thank you for loving me and making me feel loved every day. I am grateful for the love that we share, and I am committed to making sure that you feel loved and appreciated every day. Please know that you are cherished and valued, and that I will always be here for you.

I also want to express my gratitude for the amazing role model and father figure you have been to our children. Your unwavering love, support, and guidance have made such a positive impact on their lives, and I can't thank you enough for all that you do. Your dedication to our family is truly admirable, and I feel so lucky to have you as my partner in this journey.

You are not only a remarkable partner, but you stepped into the role of a dad so seamlessly. You took on quite the challenge and have been nothing but supportive and exactly what they needed. A consistent role model.

I look forward to spending every moment together. You have allowed me to experience the one thing in life I was missing — True Love. I love you more than words can express, and I look forward to making many more memories with you. Thank you for being the amazing person that you are.

With love and affection,

Samantha
