This was the day my future became beautiful...

The love of my life was born at exactly that moment. Although it sounds tacky, it really is true. We met when we were just 15 years old and instantly I was smitten. She wasn’t quite so interested in me. I pursued her for well over a year before she even agreed to date me, but I just couldn’t be discouraged.

I knew from the very first moment that I wanted to share every possible minute with this girl. As kids usually do, we both made mistakes and found ourselves separated without any real hope of reconciliation. Some people discredited what we had as infatuation or a high school relationship. I always knew it was more than that. I fought my way back to her and today she is once again at my side.

Perhaps the best thing about her is her ability to never lose sight of the stars. She has a passion for the beauty around her, yet sometimes seems oblivious to the beauty that radiates from her. I chose to give her a picture of the stars at the exact moment of her birth because I wanted her to see how beautiful the stars were the very second she was brought into this world. I told her that that was the moment my future became beautiful. I think she took it as a compliment to her physical beauty which, of course, it was.

Honestly, my future is beautiful simply because I know she’s in it, because every moment under my lucky stars from today til the end will be with her. I can think of nothing more beautiful than that.
