Today is my anniversary with Kim. Interestingly enough we both forgot and made plans with our adopted family Doug & Vanessa. When we realized it, we both had a good laugh and were genuinely ok with it.
We didn't buy gifts or plan special dinner or really do a whole lot other than I'm sure that I will get a card, which really is one of my favorite things to get from my wife, her feelings written down.
I don't know that people really have a sense of how I feel about Kim. I think that I am very protective of that and don't spend much time shouting it from the rafters or so I've been told by my group.
It's hard to articulate a feeling especially the feelings that I have for Kim. She is my perfect spouse, friend, coparent and everything else that one person can be to another. I love her more than I have ever loved anyone, ever.
When I am with her, I feel understood and deeply cared for. I am accepted and loved, warts and all, unconditionally. I love her and want to spend every minute with her. I never feel like I want time away from her. This feeling is so great that we had to negotiate with Kim's parents to be able to sleep in the same room when we visited. We decided that if we couldn't sleep together that we couldn't stay there.
It's crazy. Many people talk about their soul mates, love at first sight and other corny things, yet I find it hard to believe that anyone could feel the way that Kim and I do about each other. I absolutely adore her, need her, love her, look up to her and respect her more than any other human.
So though this is the day that society says that we should celebrate our relationship, our love for each other, my thought is that I want to spend everyday of my life recognizing and sharing experiences with the woman, who has changed my life and made me want to be the person that deserves her.
She is my one!
