My dearest,

You always remind me to walk after a meal, to help with digestion. “100 steps,” you say, as an easy way of seeing things. We all can walk 100 steps.

You remind me that good things are worth waiting for. We had each waited decades, didn’t we, before meeting each other? That was thirteen years ago. We have walked thirteen years together.

You will always remind me of how beautiful life is, how miraculous and magical it can be. After all, we have found each other. We have walked 100 steps. We have walked thirteen years together, and we will walk many, many more, hand in hand, our hearts full and our spirits high, beat by beat.

Yours, ever and always.
