Dear Cory,
I recently stood at our bedroom window, looking out over the yard, and watched you. You did not know I was watching you, but I was. I was watching you patiently deal with two year old antics. I watched you wrestle on the ground with him shortly after. Then a 4 month old boy got distressed and you so gently caressed a head after putting a souse back in his mouth. You were covered in dirt. So were both boys. Henry got distracted with his digger and you with your raspberry bushes.
I thought about how wonderful it is to have you. I thought about how blessed Henry and Samuel are to have you as their Daddy.
I did laundry and washed your work clothes. I cleaned the kitchen and found your coffee press filled with grinds and old coffee. Coffee used to keep you awake so you could work after we are all asleep. So that you can maximize your time with us while we're awake. So that we can live in this beautiful home.
I thought about how, even though you leave every morning for work, there is still so much of you here. There is the stack of stories you read to Henry each night. There are the soccer cleats on the front porch. There is the tidied kitchen that you cleaned for me because I just had no energy left. There is your name on Henry's tongue all. day. long. You are in our smiles, eyes, thoughts and hearts.
We are only four years into this marriage of ours. I can honestly say it is more wonderful then I even imagined as I walked down that aisle towards you. I love you and can't even imagine life without you.
Happy Anniversary my love. May God grant us many many many more.
xoxo
