Dear Jeremy,
I wanted to take this moment…pause the rotation of the earth if you will…and just tell you something. Maybe a couple somethings.
I know that I am a pain in the rear end sometimes. I know that not everyone would be able to swallow spending 24 hours 7 days a week in the same house as me…heck, there are some people that can’t stand even reading this blog, much less actually being around me…but you? You chose me. You love me. You are my friend and do it with a smile. A sweet smile that makes your eyes crinkle. And you know how that crinkle makes me feel.
I just want you to know that I savor you. I let the time spent with you melt in my heart. And there are numerous times a day that I stop myself from doing and focus all my energy on making my mind freeze a little memory. I try to remember that hug in the kitchen where you pulled me & Will close for a family hug and those moments when you make me believe for a split second that I am the most beautiful girl in the world. I try to remember the sound of your voice when you are on the other end of the phone telling me to buckle up and drive safe. I try to remember the sheepish little grin on your face when you admit that you found my secret stash of chocolate and ate it all. I love all of our memories together. I hope I remember every single one. Even the bad ones because they make the cherished ones so much sweeter.
I know that I have always told you to say “I love you today” instead of “I love you forever” or “I love you always”….mostly because I was afraid. I was scared of tomorrow. And what it would hold. I was afraid of losing you and I just wanted to live in the moment of now. I wanted to think about this wonderful darling moment where we were together and happy instead of the unknown of the future. But I want you to know that even if I never get another second with you, I will be filled and thankful and 100% in love with you for the rest of my life. I want you to know that I am not afraid anymore.
And more than anything, I want you to know that I love you today. And I will love you tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. And the day after that. For all my days. And for all of yours. And for every day after that.
Just wanted to tell you that.
xo – your girl
what a beautiful letter! I wish you guys many more birthdays together 🙂
Happy Birthday Jeremy! This letter is super sweet. I do the same thing when I try to remember a specific moment. I mentally try to ‘make a memory’. I’ve done it a handful of times. When we did a walk through in the house we bought, when it snowed in New Orleans on Christmas day… stuff like that.
awwwwwww =)
Katie that is just about the sweetest thing I have ever read- you made me all teary. Every woman should have a love like that 🙂 I wish you and Jeremy many happy (shared birthdays).
Off topic, but, who do you use for a webhost? I am in the market for a new host and looking for recommendations.
such a sweet note 🙂
Happy Birthday, Jeremy!
Well, that sure brought a tear to my eye this morning!
What a lovely letter. Happy birthday to your main man!
Thanks for sharing that with us – I’ve been wanting to write a love letter to my hubby, but I’m just not ever satisfied with what I write. I promise not to cut and paste yours, but thanks for the wonderful example – you and Jeremy are lucky, lucky people, to have found each other, and to love each other at the same time, in the same place. So many never have that.
AWWWW @ this part: “But I want you to know that even if I never get another second with you, I will be filled and thankful and 100% in love with you for the rest of my life. I want you to know that I am not afraid anymore.”
Almost made me tear up a little bit. Now I want to write a letter to MY husband/boyfriend/best friend.
Happy birthday, Jeremy!
Such a sweet letter, Katie! Wish y’all many more day&birthdays to share!
Sooo sweet! I got all teary! Katie, you have a gift for using the perfect words to express your feelings and thoughts– your emotions come through so clearly and sincerely. I hope you never stop writing and sharing with us. Happy birthday to your hubby!
This was beautiful. I’m jealous of the way you can put your feelings into words like this. I love that you and J love each other the way my groomie and I love each other… today and forever.
Happy Birthday, Jeremy! 🙂
xo
That gave me a lump in my throat and watery eyes! Such a sweet letter! Happy Birthday Jeremy!
What a precious letter! It’s that kind of head over heels in love with each other that one can hardly explain. But you did a good job of explaining it. Reminds me of my husband and I. It’s that kind of crazy love that makes you think you can’t breathe without him. Love this post! You are so cute!
And now I am crying. And I don’t even know you. But after reading your letter, I kinda feel like I do. 🙂
I don’t typically comment, but I just have to say, your words moved me. You and Jeremy have a beautiful love.
Soooo cute……
I can just tell that you guys have a great relationship… I admire you for putting your husband first and allowing him to be the man and you the woman.
It is hard for me because I am such an independent- take control king of ‘gal. I hope that I can learn to be more relaxed and let the man take care of me.
Happy Birthday!
What a sweet love letter!
Happy Birthday to your hubby!
Awwww beautiful heartfelt letter. x
*Tear* So adorable.
katie, if you haven’t listened or heard of the song by train, called “marry me”, listen to it. it’s a new song.
go to youtube and find it.
just thought of that after reading this post about how you feel about your husband.
it is a beautiful song. 🙂
Okay, maybe it’s because I’m pregnant…maybe it’s because I feel like this about my hubs too. I totally cried, at work, reading that letter. Super sweet, real and honest. Love it!!
This made me cry. You have such a great way with words Katie. Good luck in all that you both do.
