Today Basil and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. Basil woke me up at midnight last night, and led me into the dining room to open boxes of goodies and to see the 4 dozen beautiful roses and the bottle of champagne he had ready for us to toast our way into our 5th year of marriage.
Being married has been one of the hardest and most rewarding things we’ve ever done. And I’m glad that we got to do it together. I feel incredibly lucky to have found a man to share my life with that I’m still in love with and who still makes me laugh my ass off every day of my life.
Basil, you are my best friend. You are my sweetheart. You are my favorite person. You are my number one. We’ve traveled all over the world together, and spent quiet nights watching TV in our pajamas. We’ve created art together, and made messes too. We’ve made each other madder than hell, and we’ve made an amazing son to share our love with.
We’ve made it. And I love you more than all of the words on all of the websites on the World Wide Web. Stay with me, Basil. Forever.
