Seven

Dearest Shawn,
I know you read this so I thought I would surprise you with a letter. Tomorrow we will celebrate our seventh wedding anniversary. With everything that has been happening lately I wanted to let you and the world know how thankful I am for you. We met as I was going through one of the toughest things I have ever dealt with. Soon after we started dating you had to deal with the biggest loss a son can go through. That was such a bittersweet moment in our story, that is the moment I knew I could never leave your side again.
On some level it was pretty much love at first sight for me, it just took a while for everything to work out. Did you know that once after hearing you say that you liked red hair I went home and dyed my hair? I was definitely smitten. Nine years later here we are. We have spent seven of those years married, and nearly five as parents. We have made it through some rough stuff and the most amazing moments of my life. I am so happy to have you by my side and am looking forward to many more years as your wife.

Love Always and Forever,
Missy
