My Dearest Isaac,
I find myself sitting here going through every photo I own of us together over the past two and a half years. Each one holds such a powerful and life-changing memory for us. It is amazing to see how much my love for you has grown over the years. As the hardships and trials come, you continue to mold and grow into the lover and partner that I want and need. Through your example, you have taught me the value and necessity of being emotionally and spiritually present in a relationship.
When I look back, I think about the circumstances in which we met. I think about how many things had to fall into place in order for us to meet. We made so many decisions independently that eventually lead us to each other and I am grateful for that every day.
Right now it is hard not to be angry. I hate not being able to wake up next to you and sing you happy birthday. I hate that I can't kiss you or hold you. It hurts to know we are missing such monumental moments in each other's lives. I know that if I allow those feelings to dwell, it will consume me. Instead, I think of all the birthdays that are yet to come. I wish you knew how much you have changed my life. I was cold and hurt and you took your time with me. You allowed me to ease into love. Thank you for your patience as I have tried to figure out ways to unlearn bad habits and adapt to new ones. You have blessed my world and I thank God every day for you. I will love you forever my sweet Isaac.
Always,
Your Wife
