Our very special day

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that may never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that might seem insignificant to others such as a note, a song or a walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. A phone call or text message during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a blue sky, a gentle wind or a sunset on the horizon. You open your heart and doing so, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems exciting and worthwhile. Your hope and security is in knowing that they are now part of your life." — Bob Marley ( adapted).
