Adore: To regard with reverent admiration and devotion.
Cherish: To keep or cultivate with care and affection.
One thing that concerned me about marrying Dawn Marie, about being with Dawn Marie in general, really, was my usual lack of ability to express feelings in a genuine and appropriate manner. Before she came into my life...or came into my life again, I should say...I just never took the time to tell people who were closest to me how I felt. I didn't want to open myself up like that. It was easier to put up the walls (which, to this day, I still do with the people who are not in my close inner sanctum) and not risk being hurt. Luckily, I've found that Dawn makes it quite easy to tell her how much I love her. I want her to know, so I simply say it. And I try to show it. Sometimes I do a good job of that, sometimes...not so much. However, there are feelings that I have in regards to my wife and my marriage that I know I do not convey well. And I think right about now, since I can't sleep anyway and should probably think about waking Dawn up soon so we can meet Shelton for breakfast, is as good a time as any to make this clear.
I adore my wife. I cherish my marriage. Nothing and no one will ever come between us or change that. It is important to me that Dawn Marie realizes this. For several different reasons. None of which I need to put down in words here because she already knows what they are. It is enough having said it. I hope.
