Dear Husband O Mine, I love you. Exactly as you are. You asked me a long time ago, why I love you and I replied for too many reasons to list. Well, Im going to try now, to tell you why and hopefully you will really understand that I truly do love you - so much. Youre hot. lol You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Thats the first reason. Just joking...but seriously, it doesnt hurt. haha Youre smart. Not just kind of smart, but ridiculously smart. I know you struggled in school and Im sorry that the people raising you and working with you either didnt have the resources or werent qualified to identify what resources would have been beneficial to you. I firmly believe that every person can learn effectively, and I believe it is a matter of identifying how a person learns and then utilizing the correct tools that makes the learning effective. I find it very difficult to watch you be judged by people who couldnt even begin to understand concepts that come so easily to you. I loath seeing you judged by people who lack perspective, depth, insight and accountability and to see the effect their judgement has on you. You have been judged by people who are not intelligent enough to recognize your intelligence. If it werent so offensive, it might be funny. At the very least I might feel a little sorry for them. But because they hurt you, I dont feel sorry for them. Your own struggles have made you a wonderful teacher. You can explain a concept to our kids in a way that I never could and with a patience that I dont have. The tricks that you have for math are fantastic and our girls have your knack for it. Thank God! lol You are the best father. Again, you can relate to our kids in ways that I never could. You remember what it was like to be a kid and you get it. I dont think I ever was a kid, therefore I really dont get it. You give our children everything that I cant. You are an amazing friend. You are there for your friends no matter what. To the detriment of your wife at times. You have the most incredible work ethic. To your own detriment at times. Good thing were working on that. :) You are beyond thoughtful and kind hearted. You are generous, welcoming, accepting and forgiving. You are good enough. Just as you are. You dont need to change anything. I love you exactly for who you are. Today. Right now. And yesterday. And as far back as 12 years, 9 months and 14 days ago. For exactly who you were. Weve both changed. I wont say Im not grateful for some of the changes youve made. Im sure you would say the same about the changes in me. But changes or no changes youve always been good enough just as you are. Beyond good enough. You need to know that. I am sorry that you were raised by people who struggle with their own self-worth. It has, unfortunately, led you to believe you have reason to question yours. You dont. You are amazing. You should be so proud of the person you are. You should never question your value. I know I shouldnt tell you what you should or shouldnt do, but Im going to, in this case. You have every reason to be proud of yourself, the man you are, the life youve built and the example you are setting for your children. I know you work on bettering yourself and there are certain things that I am grateful for the work you are doing, but even without the work, youre amazing. You deserve to be loved and appreciated by your entire family for exactly who you are, not for an outdated, unrecognizable, inaccurate perception that some people may have. You are not other peoples thoughts of you. You are a gift to everyone you meet and its a pity for the ones who dont recognize you as such. I realize I may be a bit repetitive, but its worth repeating. There are a million and one more little reasons why I love you. Ive probably even missed some of the big ones, but these would be the top ones. The most important point I want you to really absorb, is that you dont need to change anything about you, for me to continue to love, accept and appreciate you. Youre all I need. Youre good enough. Ive loved you for the last 29 years of my life and will love you for the rest of it.
