Dear Kip,

It’s Valentine’s Day and what better to write about than love. 

When I was young, my Sammy Gayle used to tease me that I had to fall in and out of 100 times before I could get married and she teased me that I was on my way.  I may not have fallen in love 100 times, but I have fallen in love a few times.  Each of those has given me a gift and has taught me something different about love.  But it is you, Kip, that has given me the greatest gift of all.  You have given me the gift of true love.  You have given me patience and passion.  Quality time, thoughtfulness, and joy.  A home to fill with our big, blended family. Unconditional love that fills my heart with peace and security.  There will never be enough words to thank you for all you have given me in the last year. 

I hope that you know how lucky and grateful I am to have met you, to have fallen in love with you.  In return, here is what I will promise you.  I promise that I will never take you for granted and I will love you more with each passing day.  I promise that I will love forever and unconditionally, and that you will be my greatest love story.  You may not have been my first love, but you will be my last.  This is promise you. 

Love you always,

Brandy Lynne
