Dear Joe,

Thank you for doing the little things. Thank you for bringing me milkshakes at work. Thank you for telling me I’m beautiful when I first wake up in the morning. Thank you for not getting frustrated when I’m tired all the time. Thank you for taking care of me when I’m sick. Thank you for buying me jewelry. Thank you for watching Disney Channel with me (and only making fun of me a little bit). Thank you for encouraging me to follow my dreams. Thank you for letting me plan our life years in advance. Thank you for buying me stuffed animals to cuddle with while you’re gone. Thank you for always reminding me of our ultimate goal. Thank you for teaching me to stand up for myself. Thank you for showing me that gentlemen still do exist. Thank you for respecting me. Thank you for being there for me when I cry, even if it’s for no reason. Thank you for loving me like I love you. Thank you for being you.

Love,
Amanda
