My true love gave to me the same thing he gives me each and every day. The gift of his love. And it is a very large gift and he gives it with love.

I am the luckiest man on earth. I have a husband who celebrates me each day. Although we have often been apart for long stretches it is only in body for we are totally connected heart and mind.

If I start to feel down or low I think of Pedro and immediately I smile. I am not sure I outwardly smile every time I look at him but I am sure that my energy changes whenever I think of him. And what is it that changes? It is me.

I am the one who creates an energy of loving and being loved in my relationship with Pedro. He says the words but I accept them and celebrate them without question. It has been over 3 years and I have not once ever questioned this man’s love and devotion to me. That is amazing.

We have, like all couples, had a growing, evolving relationship with the normal stress of modern day living and we have both been able to rely on each other for the strength and support to overcome adversity. We have the ability and use it to help each other see the more positive side if we are feeling low or negative without discounting the others feelings. We can challenge one another without creating arguments or hurting each others feelings. We disagree but do not attack each other.

So today, the first thing I thought of when I woke up is how much I loved being loved by my true love. And today, like most days, I am grateful to know the man in my life I am lucky enough to call my husband.

Te amo mi amor. Tú eres el amor de mi vida. Ahora y siempre, siempre en mi corazón.
