Mein Schatz,
Soon we will be celebrating our fourth year of marriage. Wow. I can hardly believe that we’ve been married that long already. Where did the years go? I didn’t notice them pass by. And that is not to say that we haven’t done anything exciting… in fact, those four years are the most exciting time of my life.
I like to say it’s because nothing has changed. But that is just wrong. We are still very much in love with each other just like we were on our first few months together. True. Our love for each other is definitely as intense as before but it has also flourished in so many ways I can’t really explain.
A lot has changed. Our surroundings’ changed. We’ve changed. We’ve matured. We are bonded by marriage but that is not enough. We wanted more. Not from each other but from our life together. We wanted a bond that can’t be broken by time, by law, and by anybody.
We wanted a child.
And each day, I am deeply grateful that we are blessed with one.
Now the life we have together is more meaningful and the bond we have is stronger.
The reason why I didn’t really notice those four years passing by is because I am enjoying myself too much—I am having the time of my life.
I love you, I love our son, and I love our life.
Bussi,
Schatzl
