I love you, my dear. I hope I always make you happy. I hope we have wonderful quiet moments that only we share. I hope we always speak our special language of memories and private jokes. Happy monthly anniversary.

My love, happy just a little over 13 and a half years together. We are now in setting up our Irish vacation and I have brought home wonderful news about work. Thank you for being there for me over the past month, where everyday seemed to be a punch in the face by random assailants.

I love you.

Happy 163 months, my love. I know you are under the weather. Just rest. We shall have a quiet evening tonight among blankets, cats, and Chinese food. I love you.

Happy 13.5 years to my lovely wife. With any luck, we will be visiting Ireland six months from now. So much to plan, so many guide books to read. Not a complaint, just eager to see this slice of the world with you. I love you. Happy anniversary.

Happy monthly anniversary to my lovely wife. Things are calm now. Well, more calm. I feel like I can breathe now, and such times bring a relief. No more outside tension for a while. A happier home amid the rain and the gloom outside. Consider this my gift to you, my love.
