On this date eight years ago, I married a man who has changed my life.

He has enriched me with his culture, surprised me with his creative drive, encouraged me despite my own failings, and walked alongside me through the mundane, the morose, and the moronic.

He feels deeply. He delves into things I will never fully understand. He bears weights he has no right to. But most of all, he has been a partner, a friend, and my heart's greatest treasure.

Happy anniversary, husband of mine.
