Marrying Ken Ferris…

(a love letter to my husband because our 20th – yes, 20th – anniversary is coming up in 3 days)

Dear Ken,
Thank you.
Thank you for loving me, for loving me good.
Thank you for putting up with my shit. I don’t know how you do it, but you do, and you do it with such grace and kindness and it just makes me love you more.
Thank you for the gorgeous garden and the beautiful home, and the care you put into our lives. every single day without fail.
Thank you for holding me when I’m scared and worried. That is a huge massive job, and you took it on without a fight.
Thank you for being so generous. In every way humanly possible.
Thank you for your passion and spirit and determination – not just in our life – but in the world you live in, you’re not afraid to speak your mind, open your heart, forgive easily, share your opinions and fight the good fight. I am so fucking proud of you.
Thank you for paying attention after I kick & scream & holler for you to pay attention to me.
Thank you for working so hard.
Thank you for the magic you seem to create in the moments when I so need some magic.
Thank you for being a very good man, a great husband, a spectacular gardener, a joyous friend, a sexy lover. Thank you for being oh so funny. For making me laugh.
I am so frickin’ lucky. and yes, yes, i know, i know … you are too. but today it’s all about you. tomorrow it can be all about me.

I so very much love you.
And, I like you plenty.
I like you a lot.
Me
