To my love, on the monthly anniversary of our big day. Somedays I wish I was a better person, and then you tell me I am.

Somedays, I wish I could believe it for myself.

It's been a hard few weeks. Thank you for understanding.

Happy anniversary, my love. I know things have be crazy lately, but I like to think it's worth it. The game is doing well, but I'm still ensnared on future projects, and it possesses me far more than it should. I love you, and I'm grateful you are enjoying the fruits of my labor. Maybe one day we can sit down and play it together. It's strange that I'll distract myself from work craziness to play something I made at work with you. But there are worse things in the world.

Happy anniversary, my love. Tonight, a quiet night. "Avatar" episodes and cupcakes. Next week: the storm. The game launches, the parties are held, the fans will be frenzied. I want to enjoy this quiet moment with you before the joyous turbulence hits. Again, thank you for being there for me in the final months and weeks to launch. I couldn't have done any of this without you. I love you.

To my love. Another month for us. Happy anniversary. I love you, and I'm grateful you are understanding while it feels like I'm being inflated with stress every minute between now and launch. Thank you for being by my side. Thank you for understanding. I'm lucky to be with you.

Today, 13 years ago, we were married. I love you. I hope I always make you happy. I hope I am always worthy of you. I hope I make you laugh. I hope I keep you warm in flesh and in heart. You make me want to be a better person, and through the years I have known you (18 by my count), I have stood and soared because of you.

Tonight, a dinner, a movie. You and I together, me always pushing to be better, to be the person you deserve.

I love you.
