Some time ago, I began leaving notes for you, considering the ways in, for, about, and why I love you. I'm afraid they'll get wet from the bathroom sink and wind up in the trash. You know I am not a keeper of many mementos, but I want you to have this. So, I will keep my list here, as well as in my heart and mind, and on little blue pieces of paper.
1) I love your profile.
2) The way you support me.
3) The unmatchable sound of your laughter.
4) The way you are with our children - I love how you father them!
5) How much you love to Play.

Me - coming home to you.

Love goes through many trials in our lives but gets more valuable over the long years. Never perfect, like us, but worth the work we put in it.
