Dear Rach

Dear Rach,

Before we got married, we promised that we’d never stop writing each other letters. But for one reason or another, we never got around to doing it. So this is me trying to rectify the situation. Now I’m not saying that I can turn this into a regular thing, but I will try to make it a point to write one on special occasions. Special occasions like our third wedding anniversary which we are celebrating today.

I don’t think I’ve ever told you this before, but I think you are the funniest person I know. Some people may call me funny, but I have to work at it really hard. Your humor is unforced, and natural. You are, quite simply, what it is to have a good laugh after a long day.

It is this quality which proves time and again why you are the only person I can spend my life with. You don’t need me to recount all the shit we’ve gone through together. But even though I sometimes feel like we have more than our share of drama, the fact that I’m going through it with you gives me that assurance that before long, it will all be over and we can get back to what it is we do best: laugh.

You are one of the most intelligent, driven, and focused people I know. It’s no wonder why you’ve accomplished as much as you have at such an early age, and despite the odds stacked against you. I just need to remind you that there is a reason for the trials you’re facing now. I know without a doubt that you are destined for great things. But the universe just needs to be sure that you are ready. That’s all it is. So just punch through all of this drama because in the grand scheme of things, they’re nothing more than practice. And when the main event does come, don’t be afraid of it either, because I’ll be with you for it; like I’ve always done so in the past.

We have a very exciting future ahead of us, and I couldn’t ask for a better companion than you. I love you Rach. Happy Anniversary!

Leah & Emer’s Wedding

I won’t even attempt to describe the event in words. Suffice it to say that while the weeks (or months if you’re my sister and mother) leading up to the wedding were very emotional, they couldn’t compare to the actual event.

It was a perfect wedding, and nobody deserved it more than my sister.

Congratulations Leah and Emer. We’ll try to keep mom and dad laughing while you’re on your honeymoon. But nobody can do it better than you. Come back soon.
