One year ago today.
Liz, you are my heart.
Loving you has changed my life completely; for the first time ever, I
feel extremely fortunate to be me.
I see you, Liz Warner. You give freely of yourself and seek to be of
service to others -- family, friends, strangers. Your compassion,
kindness and boundless capacity for love are only a few of the many
qualities that make me so proud to be your husband. I may not have
always loved you, but I have always admired you.
In times of discord, I will do my best to remember that your
thoughts, words and deeds are inspired by loving-kindness. Each day, I
will make mindful choices to reject doubt, fear and indifference in
favor of love, trust and respect, remembering that:
Nothing is permanent.
Nothing is worthy of anger.
Nothing is worthy of dispute.
Nothing.
With you at my side, I'll work to accept change more gracefully -- in
myself, in you, and in the world.
I will set aside my ego so that I might ask you for help when I need it.
I will cultivate closeness, laughter and honesty. I will never stop
reminding you of how beautiful you are or how much I love you.
I will do my best to faithfully hear the things you say -- and the
things you don't say.
I will bake you gluten-free treats. We will travel around the world
again. And again.
Be my wife, my chief technical officer, my editor, my muse. Walk with
me until our paths end.
From this day forward, you don't have to go through anything on your
own -- unless you choose to.
Liz Warner, you are my heart, and I will love you for as long as I live.
