My dearest,

It comes most clearly when we are at the gym or working out, here there wherever. We are each other’s cheerleader. Ganbatte! we’d say to each other. We appraise each other’s fitness, or maybe simply praise. We inspire one another to eat more healthy foods, to exercise regularly, to sleep early.

And it’s this sense of cheering each other on that permeates every aspect of our relationship, of our life together.

We celebrate each other, we root for each other’s success.

For in doing so, even when we least realise it, we are building the best life we can, hand in hand, lifting each other up, to higher ground and to greater happiness.

Yours, ever and always.
