In the next couple of weeks our fine family will be getting a temporary new member. I am not quite certain that this new member realizes just how lucky he is to be a part of this terrific family you have built for each of us. This is the family that you built. With every little detail you have crafted something special.
When he gets here he won't realize the meticulous detail you went through to make him feel at home. Setting up his room. Making sure he has a desk. Making sure he has food he likes. Right down to the little details like printing some pictures of his brothers so he feels more at home. How could he not feel immediately like a member of the family?
It isn't just him. You do this for all of us. The details you go to make our lives comfortable are pretty amazing. Here are some good examples.
- Have you looked in the pantry lately? Everyone in our family has something in there selected by you for us. Something that is uniquely ours. The same goes for drinks. My tea, the older ones sport drinks, the younger ones root beer. Every detail covered.
- How about the girls clothes? A perfect outfit for every shirt, pair of jeans and sweater. They always look beautiful because you dress them so. They are beautiful on their own, but you add the final touch of perfection.
- How about my weekly packing? I never worry that I will get somewhere and be missing something. Outfits perfectly planned and ready for me when I need them.
- How about birthdays? Who wouldn't feel special with the well thought out gifts and surprises you provide. I'll never forget how perfectly the car thing went.
- Christmas? The details are endless. I don't even need to say more.
- Even things like meals that one family member may like more than the other. You always make certain that we are all covered with things we like (even though we aren't that picky).
There is so much to be thankful for with you. We are so lucky. Now we have a new addition who will get to enjoy the level of detail you provide to his life. He has no idea what he is in getting himself into.
So I have to finish by thanking you. As we approach our anniversary I am reminded how perfect our lives have been the past 2 decades or so. Every day I love you more. Every day I find new reasons to love you. You even make me being away tolerable with the way you make my weekends special.
You are simply the best thing that has ever happened to me. Your are the best thing that has ever happened to all of us.
All my love forever.
I miss you. Writing this made me miss you more.
