Tony, 

Thank you for putting up with me.  Thank you for taking care of me.  Thank you for remember my favorite flower.  Thank you for holding me when I'm sad.  For kissing my hurts, for worrying about me. 

Thank you for making me grilled cheese sandwiches and Ramen.  Thank you for taking pictures of me that you can feel the love through.  Thank you for taking off with me on our adventures.  For putting up with going to the Landing.  For carrying me when I've needed you to.  For keeping me sane. 

Thank you for forehead kisses and Moes.  For chocolate chip cookies and a cold soda.  For letting me steal your pillows.  For letting me steal the blankets.  For snuggling me when I'm cold and rolling away when I'm stifling. 

Thank you for understanding when I cry.  For telling me I'm beautiful.  For wanting me as much today, as you did 7 years ago. 

Thank you for the "I Love Yous", the we'll be okays, the we're togethers.  Thank you for brushing my hair.  For finding my scrunchies. For dealing with my weirdnesses. 

Thank you for pushing my wheelchair, dropping me off at the door, handing me my cane, understanding when I hurt.  Thank you grinding pepper for me, chopping things, stirring stuff, straining hot stuff so I don't burn myself. 

Thank you for understanding when the clothes aren't folded, dinner's late, for finding my shoes, then helping me with them. 

Thank you for encouraging me in all that I do.  Thank you for hugging me for no reason.  Thank you for talking to me for hours on the phone, when you're not here. 

Thank you for standing up for me, even when you disagree with me.  Thank you for taking me places you don't want to be and never complaining.  Thank you for not laughing at me, when I get emotional over silly things. 

Thank you, honey, for all that you do, and all that you are. 

I love you and can't wait to see what the next seven years bring. 

Always, 
Sue
