Family

Ages: 12, 11 and 4.  Girl, Boy, Girl and I met them tonight over dinner at your house.  In just the 3 hours I spent with them and you, I could tell how much they respect you and what great kids they are.  They want your approval and love and isn't that what should be at the core of any solid relationship with your kids?

Sure it was a little noisier than I'm used to, however, you said and I agree, it's just first meeting excitement for everyone.  I'm so glad you introduced me to them.  Not that I doubted it before, but it shows commitment to us and that I'm the type of person you want your children to know.  I'm thankful you regard me in this way.

I continue to look forward to each milestone we pass through, holding our breath before during and then after briefly to check in with the other on how we thought it went.  So far so good.  No show stoppers, not even any show slowers. 

Assuming everyone has some sort of hopeful notion of what the perfect partner is to them, I am yet again amazed at how you've managed to embody those qualities I have conjured up.  Better still, you let them unfold in front of me in the most natural and humble way - exhibiting those perfect qualities of my perfect man.  At this point, I can only assume one of three things:

1. You aren't human
2.  I'm schizophrenic and none of this is really happening
3. You've been reading my thoughts since you were born :-)

It really doesn't matter, though, in the end.  What matters is I think you are so wonderful, so extraordinary, and I'm so happy that you continue to choose me.

I love you.
