Seven years and four little ones later
: life just
continues to bloom. Thank you for helping me plant this garden in life
that grows daily, has weathered the rains and snows and enjoyed some
pretty amazing sunshine. God's blessings are so good and abundant. It is all about Him.
Each day gets better, and the wonders of married love continue to
reveal God's divine hand and creation of it all. Thank you for your
love, desire to always grow and strive for more and challenging me to go
higher. I love you. Thank you for our dear little treasures, whose
faces were beautiful to look at today as they looked on, with popcorn in
their laps, for movie time: the viewing of our wedding (one of their
favorite videos!)...mine too!Cheers to many more happy days of God's grace protecting and uplifting us as we lean on Him with Our Lady and St. Joseph beside us.

�Each day does seem as though we've only just begun, and I am grateful for much laughter in the rain. I love you.
Thank you for your deep love.
All my love,
Mares

Our Wedding Song: Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor by Juanes�

Translated in English: I Am Nothing Without Your Love
English Translation (below):
As we weather while the time passes us by, it begins to appear that in the end our hurt outweighs the years.
And so I desire to spend my years together with you, my eternal love, together with my family, together with my friends...
I am worth nothing, I have nothing, if I don't have the best: your love and companionship in my heart.
Better a year late than a decade without you. It's worth it to finally have my heart replete.
Hence I always want to be conscious of your steadfast love, be we near or far from the end.I am worth nothing, I have nothing, if I don't have the best: your love and companionship in my heart.
Come, my love...
I feel weak when I am without you, and I become strong when you are here. Without you I don't know what it's like to live. My life is a tunnel without light. I want to spend more time with you, take back the moments I have lost, and conquer the immense fear of death so as to experience eternity with you.I am worth nothing, I have nothing, if I don't have the best: your love and companionship in my heart.Hence I always want to be conscious of your steadfast love, be we near or far from the end.I am worth nothing, I have nothing, if I don't have the best: your love and companionship in my heart.
