A Thank You To My Man

Love unlocks doors and opens windows that weren't even there before.

Ryan,

I love you. You are my best friend in the world. You have made every day since we've been together so much better. I have so much to thank you for.

Thank you for the laughter. You make me laugh like no one else has. You have me laughing for hours -- it's like I have my own comedian. I don't think we've had a day together without laughing.

Thank you for being here. You have been there for me even before we started dating. You always cheer me up and make me feel 100 percent again. You do everything to make sure I'm having a great day. You make me feel so comfortable, which isn't always so easy.

Thank you for being honest. You are the most honest person I know. You have been completely honest with me. You tell the truth when I desperately need it.

Thank you for the adventures. We have had great adventures together and I'm so grateful that I got to experience them with you. You were the first boyfriend to come to Christmas brunch. We have so many more adventures together and I can't wait for that.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your family. Your family has been amazing to me. I love them, I consider them my own sometimes. I am so lucky to have them and you in my life.

I'm so grateful that I have you in my life. I'm not always great with saying how I feel, but I'm so thankful at how patient you are with me. You rarely get frustrated with me and I know that my panic attacks and my moodiness is hard to deal with, but thank you for how well you do.
