Love in the face of Life

I can't believe we're so close to the day, and getting even closer. Today I feel like getting a little serious. This has been the hardest year of my life. I know, as fact, that this would have been so much harder had it not been for Megan. She supports me completely and without question. After the death of my brother, Johnny, Megan stepped up and helped me get to the other side in one piece.  She worked tirelessly to make sure that I had what I needed and then did the same for my brother and mother. Whenever the subject of the wedding comes up, someone invariably asks if I'm nervous. I don't even blink an eye when I say, "no, not for one second." She's an incredible person, and I'm incredibly fortunate to be in this position.  There is no one who could fit me better than the way she does.  There is no one who could better help me to grow in the way she does. There is no one that can make me laugh the way she does. There is no one who can open my heart the way she does. I don't need to spend the rest of my life with her, but I want to. I want to enjoy her, love her, laugh with her, and work hard to give to her as good as I get from her. This wedding may not be perfect, but I know that the marriage will be.
