Sofia, my heart's deepest desire...

Sofia...

We met six years ago, and from the moment our eyes met I knew our souls were destined to become one.

We met at my job, when I was just a cashier at the local discount grocery store. I was the second-shift supervisor, and you were just a girl looking for discounts to save money.

I was a 27yo of French and Italian descent, you were a 25yo of Mexican descent.

We both were fresh out of deeply-failed relationships, still wanting love but scared to commit to what we feared may have exposed ourselves to continued pain.

I was scared to ask you on a date, but asked anyway.

You quietly said, "Yeah, sure..."

We hung out several times...

Then I finally leaned in... and kissed your lips... and when I pulled back and opened my eyes... you opened yours and smiled... then said, "I've been waiting for that..."

The adrenaline that surged through me when you said that... it rocked me.

In that moment I realized... I realized... that I loved you.

Those next few moments... cemented the feelings my heart had developed.

Over the next year my soul realized you were the one GOD sent for me.

...

...

And now, we've been married for nearly three years.

That first two months of marriage, we made love literally every night.

...

I can't believe I found love.

I can't believe my heart has been set free.

...

...

Sofia... I can't believe I found love in you. I can't believe I found love so quickly.

GOD, thank You!!! Thank You for sending me this girl, this angel...

Sofia, I love you, I love you so much... You're so amazing, in every imaginable way you show your uniqueness and individuality, your beauty, your selflessness...

Sofia, I love you so much...

Thank you for loving me.

Thank you for choosing me.

Thank you for being so... you.

GOD, I thank You for sending me this girl. Thank You for giving me this perfect girl.

...

My heart, my soul, my mind...... belong to you, Sofia.....

I love you......
