A Letter of Thanks

Not really a story but not a blog either. This is a letter from my heart.

     I sit here tonight as the time of thanks is upon us although I am always thankful for what I have.  Tonight I want to make sure there are some thanks expressed completely and yet I wonder if I can ever word it to show how much it means.

     I want to thank the one who brought the childhood giggles back into my life, the one who never let the world tell him how he had to live, the one who I could tell absolutely anything to and could ask almost any question I needed, the one who gave me love when no one else would, the one who became the very best friend I’ve ever had, the one who made me feel beautiful when I’ve never felt that way, and finally the one who made me feel that I can do just about anything I ever dream to do.

                My Peter Pan, you brought me complete joy.  I had grown to be so serious and did not laugh as I once had.  I had lost myself, my innocence per se and yet you never lost yours.  Thank you for swinging me around and around with such a joyful laugh that was contagious.  Thank you for making me stop being so serious all of the time.  Thank you for bringing Mandy back out when Amanda had put her away for so very long.

                Thank you for simply being yourself.  Thank you for showing me how to live my life no matter how others told me to live it.  You showed me that what made me happy is what matters not what others told me I need to worry about.  Thank you for showing me that the world wasn’t always there for me.

                My sweet Teddy, you eased my heart with your listening ear.  You have always been and still are the one I know I can go to with everything and that I don’t need to worry about you judging me.  Thank you for letting me find out information from you and not holding back when I asked something.  You have always been a fount of information as well as my secret keeper.  Thank you for always being there for me and talking to me about everything.

                Mo shiorghra and anamchara, you love me in a way no other has loved me and likely no other ever shall.  You showed me that love, true love is as I’ve always believed and what’s about the inside of the body instead of the out.  Thank you for loving me and making these last few years as your girl and even as your wife the best I’ve ever had.  So many times others have wondered about our relationship because the distance makes them doubt and yet the connection we have is better than anything I’ve ever known.  The blessing I received the moment you came into my life is so very amazing.  Thank you for being the very man you are.

                A Thaisce, you are the only one who has ever truly gotten me.  You have given me a place and feeling of being able to completely free myself at all times when I’m with you.  I treasure what we have together.  You are my very best friend.  Thank you for being my everything and always being here for you.

                My beautiful love, your beauty shines through those eyes and your heart and yet you always made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.  You never held up a mirror to the ugliness I’ve always been told my body shows or even to the ugliness my heart has exhibited on occasion.  The mirror of your eyes only showed pure beauty and innocence and yet you also knew that not everything I felt within was a beautiful thought but you never expanded on those.  You multiplied the beauty to hide the ugliness of mine.  Thank you for showing me the beauty I hold within and giving me the strength to ignore the comments that oppose that beauty and never let them bring me down as they once did.

                Mo ghra fior, you are my everything.  You have made me into everything and more.  In all the years that we have known each other you have never put me down and have always boosted me above and beyond where I’ve ever thought I could go.  You have never let me put myself down or give up on myself.  Thank you for believing in my when I never believed in myself.  I could never do all that I’ve done if it had not been for such a wonderful man as you.

                I sit here now and know there is so very much more that I should thank you for and yet I don’t know how to put them into words.  How do I really put into words all of the “Thank you”s I owe to you.  So much you have done for me.  The greatest of course is loving me.  Thank you for loving me and making me your wife.

                Mo Daniel milis, is cuma cé chomh fada óna chéile go bhfuil muid, aon ábhar ar ár aois nó cúlra beidh tú a bheith i gcónaí mo fhear céile agus go bhfuil mé bródúil as sin an-. Is breá liom tú, Daniel. Go raibh maith agat as a bheith ar an chroí, fear agus iontach fear céile a bhfuil tú.

Too choked up to speak or even type much in response to this but I can say that I owe you just as many, if not more, THANKS and I have no idea if I shall be able to ever express them completely or as succinctly as you have here. The Gaelic is LOVELY as well though I admit I need to brush up a bit ... I do straight away get the gist and you shall always be Mo chuisle A ghra ... graim thu Amanda. My Mandakins ...
