My dearest Nora

My Dearest Nora,

For four thousand three hundred and eighty days, we’ve shared the sacred space of sleep, drifting into dreams side by side. The countless evenings where you’ve peacefully surrendered to slumber have been my moments of quiet reflection, turning over to plant a gentle kiss on your forehead, whispering into ear- “I love you! You are a kind and loving woman.” Your response, with a heartwarming smile, reassures me that goodness resides within you.

Each anniversary we celebrate becomes a testament to the deepening beauty of your soul. Years ago, your elementary teacher aptly bestowed upon you the name “Sunshine,” and like the sun, your radiant warmth continues to envelop and uplift those fortunate enough to bask in your glow.

The way you illuminate every room with your presence is a marvel to behold. It’s almost surreal how the very creatures of our home, from the feline wanderers to the loyal dogs and even the clucking chickens, eagerly await your return. I confess, my love, the selfish side of me resents sharing “my woman,” but your magnetic charm leaves me no choice.

Beyond your outward radiance, it’s your selfless love that captivates my heart. This current season of our lives is a living testament to your boundless care for others, a tireless devotion that spans every waking hour. Your heart, my love, remains resilient even in the face of misunderstanding and mistreatment, a strength that leaves me in awe.

When we first crossed paths, I doubted the authenticity of your perpetual kindness. I couldn’t fathom that anyone could be so consistently pleasant. How wrong I was! Your unwavering goodness has become the anchor of my life, grounding me in a love that surpasses my wildest dreams.

The thought of sharing every moment with you, experiencing the ebb and flow of life together, fills my heart with anticipation. I dream of the day when it’s just you and me, 24/7, navigating the journey of life hand in hand.

This Valentine’s Day, know that my heart is brimming with love and gratitude for the extraordinary woman you are. I have a day filled with surprises and delights planned for my beautiful lady, for you deserve nothing less.

Happy Valentine’s Day, my love.

Yours always and forever, Rolando!
