Dear Greg,

I love this song. It's our song. I decided.

Remember when we first met and you checked out my backside every time I climbed into the Bronco? And I thought you were being a gentleman.

Remember when you wrote me poems and I wrote you poems and you asked me to be your wife in a poem? And we both cried?

Remember when we had the summer of making out while your mom was at the cabin?

Remember when we were getting married and you kissed me? That was my favorite kiss.

Remember when I was so sick and all I did was cry and sleep for a year? You held me for hours and carried me to bed every night.

Remember when you brought me ice to work every day? You hated that Taco Amigo drive through, but you brought it to me anyway.

Remember when we found out I was pregnant with Halle? Remember that first day with her? We were so happy. The happiest day of my life.

Remember when she was so excited to see you when you came home? She loved you so much.

Remember when I cried for months because Jack decided it was time? What would we ever do without him now?

Remember when you spent Christmas in the hospital? I missed you so much. I learned my own strength during those months.

Remember when I climbed in your hospital bed with you everyday. Was I comforting you or was it the other way around?

Remember when I cried every month. And you whispered reassurance to me and squeezed my hand....three times.

Remember when it almost all fell apart?

Remember when we hung on to everything by our fingertips.

Remember that I love you. When things are good, when things are bad. When life is sweet and when it's incredibly unfair. When it seems that things can't get any worse and also when things are somehow peaceful. I always have a place. It's in your arms. Two legs, one leg, no legs at all I love you. I believe in you. I'll remember when.
