To Stephen, My True Heart-True Love Sweetheart Husband

It=s been over four years since I met you. I am so blessed that you came into my life when you did. You truly saved my life!

You love me for who I am and never judge me. You are a kind man, sensitive and caring--very much like my father. How could I be so lucky to have found you? As a great father, a hard working provider, an awesome lover, and always supportive of my projects, I cherish you as my ultimate playmate. And I love how you make me laugh.

When I go off the deep end you bring me back. When you go over the edge I pull you back. I=m continuously amazed at how well we are matched. Every day I find myself more in love with you.

I know you didn=t really believe in miracles when we met. Though there is so much out there that causes us grief, you are now better able to see the small miracles that show up in our lives. We have both been through so much as individuals. I know our separate journeys through the bowels of hell were preparation for us to be able to appreciate each other. It couldn=t have happened any other way.

There was no way for you to know how hard I was working to get a blue-eyed Englishman musician to show up on my doorstep for Valentine=s Day back in 2003. I never believed anyone could so closely match what I wanted in a man, much less be a blue-eyed English musician. You have such a wonderful accent, it never ceases to intrigue me. And the way you showed up on my doorstep for that Valentine=s Day proves that miracles do happen. The divine guidance it took to bring us together was a difficult path for us both, and our path together doesn=t seem any easier, but I treasure that we can share it and love each other more and more as we travel it together.

I love you forever. You are my true love and I pray we will have many years to explore this eccentric planet holding hands.

Love, Linda
