… Scott Barrow, I want you to know that wherever you go, I will go; whatever you face, I will face. I am yours. You are mine. And of this, I am certain. I love you today and everyday for the rest of our lives and beyond.
“Emily, the greatest gift anyone could ever give me is their love, their respect, and their acceptance. It sounds so easy but eludes so many. You gave me that gift effortlessly. Since that fateful day in February, when we met at my bar, you accepted my quirkiness, respected my shyness , and most of all, you fell in love with me. Your daily acts of kindness is one of the many beautiful things that I fell in love with.
I don’t know if I will ever truly give to you what you brought to me, but I promise you I will remain by your side, to support, protect, and honor you. I promise that I will always show you respect, especially during our most challenging disagreements, and I promise to maintain a life with you where we will always be able to express our wants and needs to each other. I promise to always try for you and for us, and most importantly, I promise to always love you.”
