He's seen me at my most vulnerable, he knows all my fears and shortcomings, he's helped me achieve so many of my dreams and given me so much - the biggest of all being my darling girl. To say that he is my best friend is an understatement because he is so much more than that. I feel so honored that we have the level of comfort, trust, understanding and care that we do with each other. Life would be so hard without that.
I told him in that moment that the thing that made me fall in love with him the most the first time we talked was that I never had to explain myself to him, not then not now. He was the first person to "get me" completely and love me for it all. I also told him that he gave me my dream life. As a child I would fantasize about having a life like the one I have now but I never thought it would actually happen. I never thought I could be so happy, so blessed. I have everything I need - a partner to laugh, cry, grow and love with, a child to love, a roof over my head, two fur babies that drive me absolutely crazy and food on the table.

P.S. Papa Bear said V looked like Friar Tuck without her hood. Upon further inspection he's right.
