"I know I can't take part in this contest yet, but I didn't want to miss the chance to say it. If I have to choose between being alone and being with you: today, tomorrow, and always — I want to choose you.
I can't say the last five years have been nothing but roses; we've had thorns, but each one has taught us to love each other in a different way — not to condemn our imperfections, not to try to turn each other into a mini version of ourselves, and to love our virtues. I love your sincere laugh, I love the fragility you hide behind all that rough strength you show, I love the way you look at our baby, I love that you care for my birth family, I love that you are my family.
I thank God every day for you, because every day — even when it's hard — I still choose you."
