\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
This is why I love my Man. <\/div>\n
Roses out of the blue for no particular reason. <\/div>\n
It isn’t unusual. <\/div>\n
It’s kind of a normal thing. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He is just that guy<\/em>. <\/div>\n
He wrote me a poem every day for the whole first year of our marriage.<\/div>\n

I still wake up sometimes to him reciting Shakespeare while watching me sleep.<\/p><\/div>\n

And it wasn’t too long ago, that he looked me in the eyes and said, <\/div>\n
Loralee,<\/em> I want to know everything about you.<\/em><\/div>\n
We have known each other for eleven years.
Not one day of our marriage has passed without him telling me how beautiful I am. <\/div>\n
And there have been many days when I haven’t been so beautiful. <\/div>\n
But even if all the roses and kind words were gone, I am in love with his soul. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He infuriates me like no one else, and makes me laugh like no one else.<\/div>\n
We see eye to eye on everything important and then fight about the details.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The belief that we don’t deserve each other makes every moment vulnerable.<\/div>\n
We have an uncommon everyday romance.<\/div>\n
Our love is so creative and different that I think most people don’t understand it.<\/div>\n
Our love is resilient and fresh all the time.<\/div>\n
Not everyone gets what I have. In fact, most don’t.<\/div>\n
I may not be a lot of things, but lucky<\/em> is one.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I hope everyone in the world has this love.<\/div>\n
Everyone should be this lucky.<\/div>\n
