Thank you for giving me the love I never thought I deserved, but that I now can’t imagine living without. You’ve shown me what real love looks like—steady, kind, patient, and full of understanding (thanks for putting up with me!) With you, I’ve learned that home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling, and that feeling lives in *every* moment we share together. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I’m so grateful for every day we’ve spent building our lives together. (And with Carson! 🐾)

Every love story is special, unique, and beautiful—but ours is my favorite because it’s ours. It’s full of laughter, challenges we’ve overcome, and countless memories that remind me how lucky I am to love you and be loved by you. You gave me a life! On our anniversary, I just want you to know that I still choose you, now and always. Happy Anniversary to us, Ladydoc!
