TO MY LOVING HUSBAND:

�You are the very air that I breathe. We were not a you or a me.  We have always been an US.   Together we were ONE person.  I know God made a PERFECT MAN because I was married to him.  I am the luckiest woman in the world to have been loved by you & I will love you till the day I die.  I cannot wait to be in your arms again. I LOVE YOU!�
