Those Moments

I'm amazed at how life changes so fast, but I'm also glad that it's been for the best, and despite all of the doubters, I'm so very happy, because with flying colors, we've passed the test. We've flown and grown together at Superjet, and those doubting Thomas's have undoubtedly gone, because our love has grown and blossomed, our love has been a sunshine that has shone and shone. It feels like we're a happy old couple, it feels like we've been with each other, forever, and I know my happiest moments are with you, they're magical moments, just me and you, together. And those moments do feel so very special, but they feel just like everything we do, they feel so magical, so very wonderful, our love feels so old but yet, still brand new. People say that the first year is the hardest, but ours was a wonderfully easy stroll, and I know that's really because of you, I'd like to thank you for playing your magnificent role. You are a woman of such unfading beauty, you are truly beautiful on the in and the out I could never tire of you, either mentally or physically, you've taught this boy what love is all about. And if I've got one small complaint, it's that you make me laugh a little too hard, I'm starting to get so many laugh lines my face is becoming laughter scarred. I really just wanted to thank you, I'd like to thank you for everything you've ever done, I'd like to thank you for believing in me, I'd like to thank you for the birth of our son. And with Ethan, I see a glorious future, truly, he is our dreams personified, and I know he couldn't have picked a finer mother, I know he couldn't - even if he'd tried. I just wanted to say you're wonderful, I've never really said just how wonderful you are, but if my love for you were a distance, then it would be further than the furthest star. And Lourdes, you have been my place of healing, it's where I've cured my heart, my very soul, because I know that with you in my life, I'm complete, Lourdes, you are the one that makes me completely whole. I also wanted to say "Happy First Anniversary" I guess that's really what these words are for, here's to you, Lourdes, you're truly wonderful, and here's to us having those moments, for evermore
