My dearest Teri,

If I could give you one more gift, it would be for you to see yourself through my eyes. You would see the most beautiful woman I have ever known, the strongest soul I have ever loved, and the greatest blessing God ever placed in my life.

Thank you for choosing me, for walking beside me through joy and sorrow, and for filling my life with a love that words can never fully describe. Every heartbeat of mine carries your name, and every prayer I whisper is filled with gratitude for you.

No matter where life leads us, nothing will ever separate my love from you. You will always be the love of my life, today, tomorrow, and forever.

With all my heart and all my love,

José

Mi querida Teri,

Si pudiera darte un regalo más, sería que te veas a ti mismo a través de mis ojos. Verías a la mujer más hermosa que he conocido, el alma más fuerte que he amado y la mayor bendición que Dios haya puesto en mi vida.

Gracias por elegirme, por caminar a mi lado a través de la alegría y el dolor, y por llenar mi vida con un amor que las palabras nunca pueden describir completamente. Cada latido de mi corazón lleva tu nombre, y cada oración que susurro está llena de gratitud por ti.

No importa a dónde nos lleve la vida, nada separará nunca mi amor de ti. Siempre serás el amor de mi vida, hoy, mañana y para siempre.

Con todo mi corazón y todo mi amor,

José
