climb with me...

love is...

knowing each other fully,

communicating without words,

taking the time to use words to help each other understand,

understanding each other's peaks and valleys,

watching each other grow as parents,

laughing at the silliness surrounding us,

remembering to be silly,

hovering "i love yous",

grasping for each other when we are together,

wishing for each other when we are apart,

holding each other up when we fall,

carrying the other when we are weak,

walking side by side,

stepping ahead to navigate the path,

seeing the beauty that comes from love,

knowing that our children couldn't have been possible without it,

pushing each other to become and do great things,

helping each other realize that mediocrity is ok too,

embracing our differences,

realizing that those differences make up who we are,

being comfortable during the easy times

and

climbing over the rough patches while holding hands.

happy anniversary to the love of my life. without you, i wouldn't be who i am today. i love you for everything that you have given to me and i love you for who you are.

these six years have had ups and downs. but...we can accomplish anything standing side by side, holding hands. let's never forget that. look at what we've been able to create so far...

i love you.
