I am still thankful. I am still happy. It’s been tough before, but the last few days have been good enough for now. And I am still grateful. Because in all this, I still have you. That's what matters. You matter to me. You sharing your life with me matters to me. More than the physical, which I already know from experience isn't everything. More than the hassles and intricacies of our individual lives and in trying to be together while apart. More than the heartbreaks and frustrations of stuff getting in the way of our plans. You matter to me.
I want you to know every day how much you mean to me. As much as I love you and want to assure you that I’ll always be here for you, we don’t know what will happen that might change things for us. But I am grateful for today, and every day that I have you to love. I am grateful, because I’ve never been happier, despite it all. I love you and I feel loved.
