We don't fight loud. We fix quiet. That's a kind of love most movies don't show. I'm proud of ours.
New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
There's a face you make when I tell a story you've already heard. You let me tell it anyway. That's love.
You picked up my mother from the airport last Christmas without being asked. I have not forgotten. I will not. I love you for it.
Happy Valentine's to the man who knows what I need before I do, and brings it without making it a thing.
The thing I love most about you is the thing you'd never list — that you keep showing up. Every day. Without applause. That's the whole man.
I have loved you longer than I've been the person I am now. You made the difference. You made the becoming possible.

You let me be the loud one when I need to be, and the quiet one when I need to be. Thank you. That's a rare instrument.
I love how you make coffee on the weekends. I love how you read the news out loud to me. I love how you defend my friends.
The vows said "for better or worse." We've done both. I am still here. I am still in. Happy Valentine's.
Some husbands buy the flowers. You bought the house. You did the laundry. You held the baby. You are doing it. I see it. I love you.
I would marry you again on a Tuesday in jeans. I'd marry you again on a Saturday in a downpour. Any day. Yours.
The kids have your laugh. I'm relieved. It's a good one. Happy Valentine's.
You are not the easy choice. You are the right one. Every day I'd make it again.
There's a quiet truth I think about when you're asleep: you are exactly what I needed and somehow more. Lucky me.
The way you love our family is the daily miracle. I notice. Tonight I'm saying so.
Twenty years and you still surprise me. With your kindness. With your patience. With how strong you are when I am not. Thank you.
You are the calm one when I'm not. You are the brave one when I can't be. I would not have made it through this year without you. I love you.
Happy Valentine's to the partner I get to plan boring Tuesdays with. The boring ones are my favorite. Because of you.
To my husband — the steady thing. The good one. The one I keep choosing. I love you today. I'll love you Saturday. I'll love you in March. I'll love you in October. I'll love you in the next decade. That's the whole vow.
Happy Valentine's to the friend who knew me before the rest of them. You're the original love story.
Today is for the people I love who I don't get to marry. Top of that list — you.
Friendship is a love that no one writes Valentine's cards about. So here's mine. To you. Happy Valentine's.
You're the friend I'd call from a foreign airport at 3 a.m. and you'd answer. That's the whole love language.
To the people who chose me back — thank you. To the people who keep choosing — I see you. Happy Valentine's.
Some loves come with vows. Some come with brunch. I'll take the brunch. Happy Valentine's, my favorite booth across from me.
