My love it was so hard to not have you with me on my big day. I stressed so much about that very fact last night on the plane and as I tried in vane to get a decent nights sleep. How could I embark on such a very important part of our lives without? I know that you wished you were here, but I couldn’t get past the fact that you were not. Not here to meet my new team, see what I have built and celebrate over dinner.
Then this morning you pulled off your magic. You did the thing that makes you so amazing. The perfectly placed surprise. The thing you do so well. Plan out ways to make things memorable for all of us. Just the same way you do birthdays and Christmas.
As I reached into my suitcase to get my “t-shirt” there it sat. The card. The card that let me know that you not only wanted to be with me, but in our hearts you were with me. “Stupid Card” it reads “It gets to be with you and I don’t”. “I love you” it reads. “…I will be thinking of you…”.
A big tear or 3 suddenly wells up in my eye. Instantly I am sad that you aren’t here for this big day. The suddenly it hits me that this card makes me know that you are here with me. Maybe not physically. Maybe not able to celebrate with me. But here with me all the same. Why? Because you are always here with me. And you did it with a perfectly placed surprise.
So I embarked on my day with you “by my side”. While I was still nervous, I had with me what I needed. I had you. Nothing is more important to me. Having you be proud of me and excited for me is all I needed. Because in the end, every thing we do is about US.
You’re the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
