As quirky as it may seem, I don’t think I’ve ever loved my husband more than I do right now, even after 3 years of being married. Christopher has been my unwavering support through so much, particularly during the darkest moments of my life. He stood by me when I faced the painful loss of my brother and when it felt like the entire world was against me, including those I was living with (at the time). Unlike Society, he has embraced me, flaws and all, and never left my side.

He inspires me every day and challenges me to grow, urging me to be my best self no matter the obstacles. He’s always encouraged me to stand up for myself. During my first trimester, he had been my constant companion, he literally held my hair back while I was sick and overwhelmed, when I couldn’t keep anything down and felt utterly drained.

I hate conflict! However, I appreciate that we can have our disagreements, and I love that he stands up to me. It’s one of the reasons I love him so deeply—he sees beyond my wheelchair and recognizes the woman I truly am.

My husband embodies resilience, determination, and motivation. He is exceptionally intelligent, insightful, and possesses a remarkable strength. However, beyond his tough and serious exterior, there resides a playful guardian angel—silly, funny, and often in touch with his inner child.

The idea of sharing the rest of our lives fills me with joy, and I eagerly anticipate watching him step into fatherhood for the first time; I have no doubt he will thrive in that role. Happy anniversary, Handsome. I love you, my love bug.
