Valentine’s Day is my FAVORITE holiday.  I know most people love Christmas, but for ME Valentine’s Day beats it all to pieces.  It is a time to celebrate love and lovers and I LOVE them both!  Everywhere you look you see something about love and people are starting to think of ways to surprise their loved onesfor the Holiday; your thoughts turn to one another, automatically thinking about the things you love about your partner and the way you met.  You think of how MUCH you love one another and what you can do to make things better.  All the women (and some of the men) are wearing red and white and PINK!  (NO babe, some little girls NEVER grow up and they may keep their Barbies and pink “crap” forever!)  Everywhere you look you see people talking about their lovers and romance permeates the air!  I can breath!  I flourish!

My wonderful husband,

Thank you love, for spending the holiday with me!  I had the best time!  It means so much to me that you would WANT to be with me today and to spend the time catering to me!  I hope I made it pleasant for you as well.  Thank you SO much for my gift! You KNOW it will go to good use!  You really surprised me and it meant more to me than you will EVER know.  You TRULY made the holiday special for me!  I hope you liked your gift too, love.  I have spent a couple of weeks on it wanting it to be “just right” for the occasion.  I hope it will bring you pleasure over and over. Please know, there is no where I would rather be than in your arms, whether that is slowly swaying on our balcony, dancing tenderly on a dance floor or lying in your arms in our bed, it is always my FAVORITE place, bringing me security and comfort.  Hearing your laugh and the way you tenderly say my name, heals my soul, love.  Your gentle breathing calms my heart and your blissful moans stroke my passion.  You complete me, my husband.

EVERY day is like Valentine’s Day for us, love (minus the pink crap!)  EVERY DAY is spent thinking of you and how I can please you and love you better.  EVERYDAY your concern is towards me, what you can do to console me, provide for me and bring me joy, what YOU can do to make my life as pain free as possible!  I don’t know that I have ever had that, love!  Thank you SO much.  You TRULY make me feel like a princess. (With or without the long flowing gowns.)   No matter what we do or where we go, I know that I am your main concern.  I know that whatever world we are in, your thoughts are ALWAYS towards me, bringing me such assurance!  When I lay my head down each evening, I know that I am loved!!  You have NO IDEA how that heals me.  It is the warm blanket that covers my weary thoughts at the end of a long day.  It is the arms that hold my beaten and bruised inner self and rocks me gently, until my mind drifts off into a deep slumber, just to find you there again….waiting…..always finding me.  Why can I be YOUR sleep and yet struggle so much with my own?  All I know is that it’s been better, and while it is still erratic, it is better and I know THAT is where you do your BEST work; when I move out of the way and am unable to put up my walls and/or TRY to hide, I am just there, open and waiting for all the things that you have put into me during the day to start their workings!  Thank you, love!  Thank you for ALL you do for me and for all you share with me.  The quiet moments we spend sharing things from our pasts are SO special to me.  YES….I WAS there…all the time, love….all the time, even in those times you can longer remember…..I was there, walking beside you, where I belong.  And when the time comes that this life is over, and we slip into the next…we will find each other once again…the prince and his princess…eternally….fuer immer, mein Liebster.  YES….I will gladly, GLADLY be your personal….:) slave….for ALL time.

Immer…..L
