happy birthday, garrett wessman.
twenty two years ago you were born.
and even though i was not yet born when you were,
i've decided that november 17, 1987 was the best day for my life.
because i sort of really love you many.
and i'm sort of really grateful that you were born.
i wish i could be with you on your birthday.
but guess what!
we have lots and lots and many, many more years to spend with each other.
and i don't plan on being absent for any of them.
promise.
and since i can't say it to your face, i'll say it on here for everyone to read:
i love you a lot.
and you've changed my life.
and i am so happy...so very, very happy to know that i get to marry you.
for forever.
maybe next year we can play laser tag and eat at ihop for your 23rd birthday.
just for old times sake?
thanks for inviting me to your birthday party that year.
it changed everything.
you know that, right?
hope so. 'cause it's true.
i love you so much, garre.
so so so so much.
have an amazing birthday, okay?
in one week i'll give you the birthday smooch you deserve. :]
love you always,
kate.
[we've come so far since that day. and i thought i loved you then.]
