To my dearest Leticia

You came into my life as a friend, as a colleague in our mutual hobby. You were there for me in the lows, and helped me get back to the highs. Then, of all the mad things, you told me that you were attracted to me and interested in me.

And now look at us, and where we are. You have brought joy and learning and fire and inspiration into my life. You have brought challenge and growth and love to me.

You are my heart, dear one. The match to my soul, the beacon in the darkness around me.

I love you.

Happy Birthday, Leti. Your bear, always.

Love,
Brian
