Happy birthday, Honey!

A letter to my love, because you are the most important person in my life.

I've known you for a long time, but I only really started carrying about you and seeing you for who you are a little over 12 years ago. In the mean time, you were always amazing. If I could sum up in a few words our relationship over those years it would be something like this:
2004/2005- discovery
2006- passion and purpose
2007/2008- time and people (the most valuable gifts one can ever receive)
2009- 2011- a descending position in our relationship we're I created a constantly bigger gap between us.
2012- rescue
2013- pain (losing Luz) restoration of purpose, wedding proposal
2014- joy (meeting IBREM and going to China)
2015/2016- tough, but with great rewards!

Honey, I just want you to known that I'm still in love with the sound of your voice, and your choice of words on how to respond to me or to however comes across you. I love hearing fresh stories about what you are doing and saying, and your voice never gets dull.

I love it that are always sweet. I love it that your sweetness may even hide behind tribulation or rough words, but it's always there waiting to be found. I love it that you don't need me, but you still WANT me, still miss me and desire me in ways that make my heart skip a beat, and my mind go crazy trying to fit the infiniteness of your love into the small box that is reason.

I love it that you don't let me stay down for to long. You either wake me up out of my depression, or encourage me with your love and hope that bring me joy. I can't be with you in fact and remain frustrated, sad or mad. You take it all off with just a few words from your precious lips.

It's your birthday, and I just wanted to tell you that you are the source of my joy and you are the joy itself, the reason I'm alive today, the one I can't live without.

This year I wish for you, that your dreams of seeing lives impacted through the people you chose and love may come true. That the plans you made may succeed without great defiance or issues to interfere. That you may see the joy of those you so eagerly wish see, and that those that surround you may learn to rejoice with you, and cry with whatever hurts you. That this year, people may see you for who are, fall in love with you and define closer to bigger relationships with you.

Plus, you're absolutely beautiful, and I love you dearly.

Your love and anxiously awaiting bride,
Joy.
