Before I say anything else to you, let me say this:
I love you
You and I have been through so much together. You have always been there for me and I hope you can say the same about me. Your endless support and unconditional love have given me more strength and guidance than I can even express.
You have changed my life.
Without you, I would be quite a different person. The lessons you have taught me and the experiences we have shared have shaped me into what I am now...and I know that is a good thing. Being around you has always and will always have a positive impact on my life.
You are beautiful.
Both inside and out. You are vibrant and fresh. The world needs more things like you. You give and give without feeling the need to unnecessarily take, yet when you are given something, you accept it with more poise and grace than I ever knew possible. Your personality is priceless and, through and through, you are an outstanding example of the most perfect perfection ever created. You are a credit to yourself and a joy to those lucky enough to know you and be around you.
What would I do without you?
Nalgene, this past year has been amazing. I love you so much. And now, allow me to place a likeness of you here, so that all may see you and your beauty. You deserve to be recognized and acknowledged as one of, if not the most incredible water bottles ever made.
(my little "Nal" is like the blue one top right)
Nal, I love you and, for all that you are...
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Lydia
