Dear Bran,

Thank you. Thank you for bringing me a glass of water before we go to bed every night. Thank you for doing the dishes. Thank you for staying up with me. Thank you for putting me to bed.

A note to the one I love

I don't know where you came from. I don't know how I got so lucky running into you that chilly October night. I don't know how I deserve to have you in my life, to light up my world. There's so much I don't know, but there are a few things that I do. When it rains, you are there with an umbrella. When it shines, you are there with a picnic. When the sky turns black and the winds howl, you are there with a sweater. When the world seems to close off, you are there with a key. When I feel like cuddling, you are there with your arm. When I am left suffocating, you are there with fresh air. When I feel like singing, you are there with Stevie Nicks. When I am sick, you are there with some tea. When I am tired, you are there with a pillow. When tears stream from my eyes, you are there with your shoulder. Whenever I need you, you are here with your love. I guess what I want to say is, I am here for you too. I love you so much, Bran. Always and forever.
