Mark,

You have been my best friend, lover and confidant for the last 29 years. We have been through so much together. The birth of our three boys, your cancer, Daniel's open heart surgeries. You have been away a lot with your job and I have held down the fort during your absence. You are a wonderful husband, dad, friend and provider. You have put up with me and my moods.

You have been my rock the last couple of months when I found that I having health issues. Your support and encouragement has been so wonderful. You have reconfirmed how much you love me. I don't know what I would do without you. With you in my life I am not afraid (well not yet at least). I know you will be there for me and take care of me. You love me at my best and worst. I don't know how I could have been so lucky. I know you have been worried for me and fearful at times. You haven't been showing the fear. You have been willing to talk to me about death, cancer and illness, and what ever came to our minds. You have been so supportive, I don't know how to repay you. I promise to you that I will always be with you no matter what, for better or for worth, and in sickness and health. I know that eventually I will be with you through all eternity. I will repay you many times over for every act of kindness you have bestowed on me. I may get a little cross at you at times, but remember my darling it is just the hormones acting up.

I will love you forever.

Your mouse.
