I have one true love.
In my life, I had thought I felt love, many times, from infatuation at 14, and onto all sorts of experiences as my teens and early twenties rolled by. I have always been fickle with my heart. I fall in and out of love with ease.
Then I met my true love. We had known each other a while, getting to know each other slowly, feeling the bond grow between us. Our hearts beat together. We were one.
The most breathtaking blue eyes. I will never forget those eyes. The first time we were skin to skin, I held you in my arms I felt afraid. I knew the potential this love held, I knew this love would not be fickle. I knew when our eyes met that first time I would carry my love for you until the day I died.
So I am writing to you here on the eve before Valentines Day, that tacky, over sentimental, marketing ploy that it is, that if we strip away all of the nonsense, was once a day to appreciate the person who is special to you. The person who you love and perhaps, loves you in return.
Know my love that you are loved. My heart has burst with the joy of you every day.
You are wonderful, beautiful, inspiring to me. You fill my life with a love I could never have imagined.
I pledge my life to you. I walked through fire, ice, wind, hail, pain and heartache to protect you and would do the same every minute of all eternity to keep you from harm.
Happy Valentines Day.
My Beautiful Daughter.

This song is the first song my Snoo ever heard, while we were still on the maternity ward together. It brings all those first day emotions flooding back to me and fills my heart afresh with the love & pride I feel for my incredible Daughter.
