186. Happy 1st anniversary. I will love you until the last page of our story. Year one was just the first chapter. There are so many more to come.
187. Remember that we chose each other. Not because we had to. Because we looked at every other option and said no. Only you. Only ever you. Year one proved that choice was right.
188. Happy anniversary. I am grateful for the hard moments of this first year. They taught us how strong we are. The easy moments were fun. But the hard moments made us unbreakable.
189. You are my favorite notification. My favorite sound. My favorite sight. There is nothing about you that I do not love. Year one taught me that.
190. Happy 1st anniversary. Thank you for fighting for us when fighting was easier than quitting. Thank you for staying when leaving would have been simpler. Thank you for loving me when loving me was hard.
191. You are the best thing about this first year. Not the only good thing. But the best. The thing that made all the other good things possible.
