30 Letters in 30 Days...Day 26 - The last person you made a pinky promise to

Dear A,

I don't know if this qualifies as a "pinky promise" but it is the last promise I made to anyone and one I intend to keep no matter what. When you made the enormous decision to move here to marry me, I knew whole heartedly that you loved me unconditionally and forever. That decision could not have been an easy one. Moving to a completely different country, into a part of the world you had little experience in, and far away from your family and all that was familiar was a huge sacrifice to make...for us.

When we took our vows I promised to love and honor you for the rest of my life. And I intend to do that. Everyday you show me that this is promise that will be easy to keep because everyday you show me more and more how much you love me.

I promise to always be there for you. I promise to always stand by you. I promise to live with you, laugh with you, cry with you, stand in awe with you, and sometimes just be present when no words are adequate and nothing needs to be said.

Forever. That is my pinky promise to you.
Mary
