To my Valentine

Ten years ago today was a special Valentine's Day for us. We started our life together, choosing each other even though we did not speak the same first language, even though we come from vastly different cultures and backgrounds. My life has been so richly blessed because of all you have added to it: not just jiaozi and the Great Wall, but also humor, patience, and most of all, unconditional love for me, even with all of my baggage.

Plus, we make great-looking kids together ;)

Happy Valentine's Day, Leo, and Happy TENTH (!) Anniversary. The words in the card you gave me said it better than I could: "I wonder where the years have gone, but never how else I could have spent them."
