What you mean to me:
I just wanted to brag a bit on Ronald!! I know everyone who reads this knows how amazing he is, but nevertheless, it can't hurt!
This week was your birthday, and it gave me such joy to have a specific day set aside to make you feel so special and adored. It was nothing short of a privilege and honor to make this day all about you.
So, Ronald, thank you for being an amazing man who loves the Lord first with everything you have in you. Everything you do is a display of your passion for Him, and your desire to submit to His will. You're an amazing, inspiring example of someone who truly understands grace, love, and mercy. Every moment with you is a gift that money cannot buy or that anyone can replace. I've learned so much from you, and as you've challenged me, I've drawn so much closer to the Lord. Thank you for always seeking truth. Whether it's truth about the Lord, truth about us, or truth in any difficult situation, you've shown me the value of loving truth and holding on to that no matter what comes. You've taught me the importance of worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth.
Thank you for loving me the way you do. You're my rock. Your strength gives me comfort, but your tenderness and love gives me peace. From day one, you've never been reckless with my heart, never have you been selfish or self seeking, and you've always put my needs above your own. The time and effort that you've taken to make sure that I feel your love toward me has completely won my heart. "You're everything I never knew I always wanted!"

Thanks for loving my family and for allowing me to love your family so freely too. Your family is so precious to me, and I treasure them as I treasure you. I love being around your family, but even more than that, I love how they love you and how they've been there for you. Your parents are nothing short of wonderful. Each time we're together, I fall even more in love with them! Your sisters are so amazing, each one with their own strengths and unique qualities that I admire. I am taken back by how everyone in your family has just welcomed me with open arms, and open hearts, as you have. Thank you for taking the time to meet with my dad and allowing him the freedom to get to know the man who has captured his daughter's heart. Thank you for not feeling threatened by my relationship with him or my mom. You will never know how much that has meant to me, and to them.
And, before I start to cry, I just wanted to say, thank you (again) for loving me. I never thought anything like this was possible, but it is. I truly thank the Lord for you, and it's my heart's desire that I allow Him to love you through me, as His love is perfect and fully satisfying. May He always stir my heart to treasure you and respect you in such a way that you know and feel you are loved the way that you've shown me.
I hope this week was amazing for you. I know I'm not alone when I say that you are loved beyond what words can even begin to express!

Thanks Mere! I'm glad you read it!!
I knew the night that I was moving to OK and talking to Ronald that you were THE ONE. I have never heard him talk that way about anyone, and 5 1/2 months later, I understand why. Everything I just read confirms in my heart that you are better than everything I ever dreamed for him. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your selfless love for him and your open heart towards our family. It is a gift that is too good to be true! I am so grateful that you are in our lives. I could never imagine anyone as great as you. Thanks be to our Lord!
