Today we have a special guest writer on MLWL! Please welcome my hubby, Eric! Reading this letter made me grin from ear to ear. As someone who doesn’t love Valentine’s Day, he sure does know how to make me feel special. He has written several other posts for me like our engagement story! Happy Valentine’s Day to YOU, girl gang! I hope today is filled with spreading lots of love and smiles to those we encounter! Of course, warm words are the ones that make us happy and cannot be bought, but even small gifts, such as a custom gold necklace representing your family, can create a special memory that will stay with you for a lifetime.
Dear Heather,
Immediately when I think about the way you love others I think about how you love our boys. Love is an individualized trait that one cannot fit into a certain box which is why I am so amazed how you love our boys in different ways.
But it is not only family that you show love to, but it is also the friends and people you interact with on a day to day basis that is truly amazing. Sometimes we joke about how we have an internal tank of energy or love that fluctuates on a day to day basis. And while I know you personally get close to empty on occasion you very rarely show it, and to me your tank is always full to love others.
You make people feel encouraged, appreciated, and loved – and in today’s society that is something to be cherished. And as you know we also talk about the “small things” a lot in our relationship and how they mean so much. It is the unexpected message you send to a friend, gift you provide, or meal you cook that means so much.
And now to me (smile), the way you love me makes me want to be a better husband, father, and friend and I can think of no greater gift you could give me. You give me the freedom to be myself which means loving me for who I am, flaws and all.
From your Northern Boy,
Eric
