COVID, Riots, Protests, Looters and 4 glorious months of you

I promised my self that one the first day I was back at work I would post something for you.  As I have always said, it is hard to write something truly personal while we are home together.  Today, we are not.  I am happy to be back at work, but my heart wants to be with my wife.

So 4 months unlike any we have ever experienced just passed.  I can't even imagine how many emotions we had during this time.  How many times we were scared.  How many times we were unsure.  How many times we hopeful.  How many times we held on for dear life.

I never worried because you were there.

But like any other crisis, we did so hand in hand.  Laugh with laugh.  Smile with smile.  Hug with hug.  Together.

I never worried because you were there.

We comforted children who thought their dreams were dashed.  We calmed a child pretty terrified of being alone.  We provided for employees.  We helped family members.  We calmed dogs.

I never worried because you were there.

Yet somehow, we never worried about each other.  We may have had concerns, but somehow we knew that together we make them just another part of history.

I never worried because you were there.

All of the worlds issues will pass us by.  They will fall off our shoulders to the ground.  They won't cause us fear, because we have each other.  Because when we need to be lifted up, we will find each others arms and lift the other as high as they need to  be lifted.  We will hug, hold hands and make sure we are safe.  Because after 32 years, safe is in each other arms.  Snuggled in bed.  Curled up on the couch.  Safe from anything around us.

I never worried because you were there.

Its true love that does this.  True love like no other.  A fairy tale life somehow bestowed upon us by a higher power.  I can find no other answer.

I need happy my love.  I need the comfort and peace we provide each other.  I need the prince to rescue the princess and for the princess "to rescue him right back" (movie quote for you).  I'm spoiled now.  I've had 32 years of bliss.  32 years of the greatest love story ever told.  I can't have it any other way.

I won't ever have to have it any other way.  Because you are there.

You're the World to me.  I love you more than anything in the world.
