To the man I married: Turner Duncan
because you let me know you completely
because you didn’t try to change me
because you have changed me forever
because you saw the good and true in me
because you forgave all else in me
because you are not who I expected to love
because you were just who I needed to love
because you gave me fabulous yesterdays
because you promised me beautiful tomorrows
because I gave you my heart
I will love you always
