My Awesome Fiance

This is going out to my awesome fiance, by the end of this you will know who you are.
I have told you many times in person, over the phone, in emails and now this. I love how you love me. I love how well you deal with me being gone when I travel for work. You take on the responsibility of everything at home when I am gone without even one complaint. You work long hours at the station and then go home just to work more there. I sometimes complain about being away, then I quickly remember how much you deal with at home in Halifax.

You are the most beautiful woman in the world and you don’t even know it. I tell you that every day and your response is always, “yeah yeah”, but it’s true. Every time I see your face or hear your voice, it makes all the bad things in the world disappear. Some would say, saying things like this sounds like a weak man, and yes you make me weak, but only in the knees.

I have screwed up in the past and you have been right there to forgive me. I love you with all my heart and I can’t wait to marry you next year. —Boop Senior
