16 years ago, I married you, my best friend Janell. It felt right then as it feels right now.<\/p>\n
Now 16 years later I look back and I see how right that choice has been.<\/p>\n
I love the fact that our struggles have been together. I love that we don’t fight and look for ways to build one another up. We might disagree but I love the fact that we allow ourselves to be different. I love that you are the mother of our children. I love the fact you enjoy being with them as well.<\/p>\n
I love your sense of humor and your shyness. I love how we can just talk and I love how we flirt, it keeps marriages alive. I love how we are so different, yet we are still on the same page. I love your perspective.<\/p>\n
I love your patience, marrying an artist is not an easy task. We tend to be moody and driven, yet you are there for me. I love the fact you have grown to appreciate my artwork and I love hiding things in my art for you.<\/p>\n
I love your passion for music and books.\u00a0 I love your smile, your cuddles, and your wit.<\/p>\n
I even love the fact that you kill me in scrabble.<\/p>\n
I love how you encourage me to dream, and I love how you support my works.\u00a0 I love the fact that you are down to earth, that you appreciate all people and I love how kind you are. <\/p>\n
I love how you help me stay\u00a0 young.<\/p>\n
I love that you still smile really big when I bring you daisies.<\/p>\n
I love that you like long drives and that you like to garden. I love the fact that I can make you laugh..even if my sense of humor is a bit off.<\/p>\n
I never realized how much of a better man I would be because of you. I see it now and I love you even more because of it. I do not know how I would function without my best friend, my eternal companion, my beautiful sweetheart. How lucky I am that I found you and how more lucky I am that you would want to spend eternity with me.<\/p>\n
It is from you, that I have found my self trying to improve. It is your support that drives my art. It is your smile at the end of a long day that brings me hope and peace. It is your faith that strengthens me when all else fails. I never knew I could love someone so much, with so much passion and so unselfishly.<\/p>\n
My darling, thank you for 16 years. Though hard at times, they are so much easier to endure with you at my side.\u00a0 I look forward to what the future brings for our family and I look forward to continuing on this fantastic journey with you.<\/p>\n
Here’s to a wonderful anniversary tomorrow. A beautiful reminder that our marriage is a team effort and how awesome it has been. I will love you forever….<\/p>\n
