eighteen months.

jonas,

i love dressing up and going out to a movie with you. and all those other times that we look back on and say "that was a good day".

i cherish the life we had in Germany. it was so hard sometimes, but you held me when i cried and helped me to be happy.

i am so glad we have grown together these eighteen months. and that it was possible because we worked hard at our marriage. 

i love that you forgive me of all those unkind words i spoke to you when i was hungry.

 thanks for always scratching my back and for checking all the closets for bad people or monsters. and for not laughing.

thank you for patiently waiting a really long time for our home. and for the times we visit and you let me tell you where everything will go..and you sigh and say "i really want to live here with you". 

i think the world of you. my dear, best friend.  

your faith in me..and in everything..is magical. 

someday i will write vividly expressive letters just for you.

happy 18 months.  ich liebe dich.
