It was 20 years ago today...
...that I first told my wife I loved her.
This week 20 years ago I realized that I was in love with this wonderful person and every time I imagined my future...she was in it.
I had never been in love before, but I knew that if I couldn't imagine my life at any point without someone...that was a pretty good sign.
The problem is that I have always feared rejection (and probably always will - it's unfortunately been hardcoded by life).
So I was very scared, but I was also very hopeful.
I had originally planned to wait until Valentine's Day.
But I was with her and I couldn't help myself.
Palms all sweaty.
Heart beating a mile a minute.
Legs shaking.
I kissed her looked into her eyes and told her "I LOVE YOU."
Her response, "IT'S ABOUT F*CKING TIME!"
Apparently, this was another point in our relationship where I was slow on the uptake.
*sigh*
I held her for a bit and kissed her a little more and said it again.
This time she replied, "I love you too."
And it still makes me smile to think of that moment.
It still makes me smile to hear the words from her lips.
It still makes me smile to know that we've got 20 years of this under our belt and we've done pretty well.
I LOVE YOU BABY!!!
HAPPY "I LOVE YOU" ANNIVERSARY!!!
Thanks for loving me back.
Even if it was about f*cking time.
