Happy Valentine's Day from Maria

I remember

some of the difficult times,

when we wondered

what we'd gotten ourselves into.

And I smile

when I think about

how far we've come

and where we are today --

partners in a marriage

that's as strong

and secure as ever,

because we continue

to nurture it...

Our marriage works

because we work at it,

and because we've never

allowed ourselves to forget

why we married each other in the first place --

for love,

forever.

I love you.

Happy Valentine's Day

I love you with all of my heart!

Love always,

Maria
