I was always pretty good at all the romantic aspects of love,
but you've shown me that true love is so much more
than pretty words and grand gestures.
You've shown me the kind of love that stays
constant in the face of anger,
moodiness, and pain-
love that is patient, understanding, flexible,
and giving.
You know, anyone can love when it's easy, but you
continue to love even when it's not that easy.
Thanks for loving me, no matter what.
Your love is the most precious gift I've ever
received, and you are the most important person
in my life.
