Let me count the ways...
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..."
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I have not been 'corny' in a while on here....so I am being so now...
I love Erin with all my heart.
There are things he does for me that no one has EVER done. No one ever even cared to do - yet he does them - they come naturally to him. He does them without thinking, without question - it just is him.
Like tomorrow he is going to go to a Yoga class with me. Like how he cooks dinner for me AND ENJOYS DOING SO. He cleans the house, he does the repair work. He shares thoughts, ideas, comics with me. He wants to include me in his life (and his children's as well).
He is in a description Oooh La La...and then some....

I don't do those things without thinking. On the contrary. I think about them a fair amount. I want us to be happy together, and that means each of needs to be happy. You appreciate these small tasks, and I enjoy doing them. Nothing can make the crappiest day melt away as well as your smile can for me.
You do the same for me as well.
