12 years...

For 12 years I have watched you make faces at yourself in the mirror...

For 12 years I have watched you achieve the perfect toe point...

For 12 years I have watched you change into scrubs every night...

For 12 years I have heard the gum chopping...

For 12 years I have listened and watched basketball games...

For 12 years I have had late night cereal feasts with you...

For 12 years I have had to teach you proper table manners...

For 12 years I have argued about car seats....

For 12 years I have eaten the ONE meal you make, bean burritos...

For 12 years I have listened to your gripes about politics and government...

For 12 years I have enjoyed your waves of fitness fanaticism...

But...

For 12 years I have enjoyed the adventures...

For 12 years I have watched in amazement you achieve your goals...

For 12 years I have sat back in admiration as I watch you engage with people of all types...

For 12 years I have spent enjoying time in your presence...

For 12 years I have boasted about your achievements and accomplishments...

For 12 year I have felt safe in your protective embrace...

For 12 years I have felt more loved than I probably deserve...

And have loved more than I ever felt possible.

Happy Anniversary Harvey! You are the love of my life!
