Because…

Because we just celebrated our 12th anniversay-

Because he loves me more now than he did 12 years ago-

Because he glows each time he thinks of our children-

Because his wisdom and patience are indefatigable-

Because he still looks at me as though I am Venus herself-

Because he humors my silly and selfish impulses, whether I am deserving or not-

Because he has allowed me to mock him mercilessly in previous posts-

Because he looks really hot in his new glasses-

Because  in my mind the word is no longer L-O-V-E, rather R-E-X-

This is for him.

“When he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun.”

-William Shakespeare
