Five Years
My Love –
Somehow it's been five years since we flew to Reno and we promised each other forever. I guess it's true what they say…..time flies when you're having fun. It certainly doesn't seem like it's already been five years, but here we are. You make me happier with every passing day.
You are an amazing wife and mother and I couldn't ask for a better life partner. David and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. I'm not even sure where we would be without you. Somehow you make having a three year old seem so easy. You're so natural in everything you do with him, and I'm always in awe when I watch the smiles he brings to your face. You're absolutely beautiful when you smile. It's one of my favorite things about you. I'm smiling as I write this just thinking about you.
I can never thank you enough for everything you do for us, but I hope that our upcoming trip will give you the rest and relaxation you deserve. I know we never made it to Hawaii before we got married (well I didn't at least). I'm so excited to share everything I had planned then with you now. The beaches, volcanoes, and sunsets will all be stunning, but none will come close to matching your beauty. I can't wait to have you to myself for a week and make new memories with you.
I know I've told you a thousand times how happy I am that we found each other, but I always think it's worth telling you again. Before you came into my life, absolutely nothing made sense. I was a lost man just existing from day to day. When I met you, it suddenly seemed like I had a reason to smile about the little things. Every time I went to visit Frasier I secretly hoped you would be there, and the days that you were there were the brightest in that time of my life. And though it took me seven years to tell you how I felt, I wouldn't change a thing about how it all came to be. Married for five years now and together for seven, these have been the best times of my life. You are the best wife a man could ask for.
I love you always,
Niles
My dearest Niles,
Has it really been five years already? I feel like I just woke up in your arms as a newlywed as you made all my dreams come true. I feel today just as I felt that day. Excitement, joy, and my heart pounding like a teenager. Somehow you make the words everlasting love a reality for me. I'm not sure that it's something I truly believed in until you and I came together. But everyday with you I'm reminded of how lucky I am to be your wife.
I know that often times "life" can get in the way of the romance. Many times it means cleaning up after David, sleeping in his bed when he has a nightmare, or watching some silly television program with him rather than going out for a night on the town. But I see the smiles on your face when we do those things with him, and I know it truly makes you happy. Watching you with him brings such joy to my life. You two are so cute together, and you are both my entire world. You are an amazing father. And I know that some days are harder than others, but at the end of every day I can't imagine going through this crazy life with anyone other than you. Thank you for everything you do for us.
I'm so excited for our holiday to Hawaii. I bought something to wear for your eyes only (but you have to wait until we're there to see me in it). I think we both deserve some time away to reconnect with each other. You're the most romantic husband, and I can't wait for this time together. These past five years have been the greatest of my life, and it's all because of you and David. Niles Crane, I love you more than I could ever put into words.
XoXo –
Daphne
