To The One Who Kept Me Sane,

Thank you. The past year has been nothing but hurdle after hurdle. You have helped me through the ups and downs, and I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am for everything that you've done.

With all the unexpected trips I had to take and all the nonsense I had to deal with when we first started dating, I thought for sure you were going to run. When I realized that my crazy past didn't bother you, I knew I was lucky to have you by my side. You have been there for me every step of the way, and you never judged me based on my past. For that, I thank you. You were there for all the big moments, like when I graduated high school, frantically tried to find a job before summer ended, moved into college and finished out the semester even with all the tough times I had at school. The only thing you could say was "You can do this, I believe in you," and that was all I needed.

You were there for all the small moments, too, like when I fought with my parents, when my car broke down and when I ran into my crazy past, which scared me to no end. Through it all, you helped calm me down when I needed it the most, you supported me through everything -- and still do -- and you have completely kept me sane and I have no idea what I would've done without you. You have guided me, helped me through the toughest times and supported me with every decision I made, even if you thought my decisions were bad ideas. For that, I thank you. And I will continually thank you because you are the one that has been there for me through thick and thin and I am so grateful to be able to say that you are the man by my side. Thank you for being my rock and the strength I sometimes need help finding.

Sincerely,

The One You Kept Sane
