My Andrew 💗
I can hardly believe that it’s been 23 years since we stood side by side and promised to love each other forever. It feels like just yesterday, yet so much has changed—and so much has remained beautifully the same. Every single day with you has been an incredible adventure, and I find myself more in love with you than I ever thought was possible.
When I reflect on all that we’ve shared over these 23 years, I’m filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. We’ve built a life together—one that is rich in memories, love, laughter, and even challenges that have only made us stronger. I remember the early days of our marriage, the excitement of our first home, the first time we held hands, the first time we laughed at the same joke—moments that, at the time, felt small but have now become the foundation of everything we are. They have all woven together into a beautiful tapestry that tells the story of us.
But it’s not just the big moments I treasure—it’s the quiet, everyday things that you do that make me feel loved in ways I never could have imagined. It’s the way you reach for my hand when we walk together, the way you look at me with such kindness and understanding, the way you make our home a sanctuary of warmth and peace. You have this incredible ability to make every moment feel significant, as if time slows down whenever we’re together. Whether we’re facing challenges or celebrating triumphs, your presence has always been my greatest comfort.
In you, I have found not just a husband, but my best friend, my confidant, and my true partner in every sense of the word. You’ve stood by me through every high and every low, always offering love, patience, and encouragement. I feel so deeply fortunate to share my life with you. You’ve shown me the meaning of unconditional love—love that endures, love that grows, love that never wavers even when the world around us changes. I am who I am because of you, and for that, I will be forever grateful.
The years have flown by, and yet, with you, I feel as though I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes of joy, passion, and connection. I have loved every season of our life together—the seasons of discovery when we were just starting out, the seasons of growth as we built our family, the seasons of strength as we faced obstacles side by side, and even the quiet seasons, when we’ve simply been content in each other’s presence. Every single season with you has been a gift.
As we celebrate 23 years of love, I want you to know how incredibly blessed I feel to walk through life with you. My heart swells with love for you, and I find myself endlessly grateful for the man you are. Thank you for being my unwavering support, my endless source of joy, and the love of my life. You are everything I ever dreamed of and more.
Here’s to the 23 beautiful years we’ve spent together, and to all the years ahead of us, filled with new memories, new laughter, and more love than I ever thought possible. I look forward to everything the future holds for us, knowing that as long as I’m with you, I am home.
I love you beyond words, beyond measure, beyond forever.
Forever and always,
Terri
