“She knew because moments that were easy weren’t memorable. They didn’t last.

“Dear one, I love you more than you know. I’ve seen everything you believe goes unnoticed, I’ve watched when you thought no one was looking, observed what exists below the surface. I know your strengths, and I know your weaknesses too. I even know that secret you hoped to keep from everyone. Yes, I know all of it, and I choose you in spite of—maybe because of—all those things. I choose those unbelievable strengths, those weaknesses you try to hide—every bit of it because it’s all you, my creation, and I choose you. Every day, every moment, I choose you. Dearest, if only you could see yourself from where I stand—how brave and unstoppable you would become.”
