Merry Christmas, Diana

I knew what and why, but I didn't know when, how, or where. I wasn't nervous. The experience was surreal and life changing. It wasn't the place or time that was important. It was all the events and feelings leading up to it. The circumstances felt right... again not necessarily because of the time or place, but more because of our circumstances. We were alone (for the most part) and all of the other restaurants were closed, but that didn't seem to matter because we were together and can handle anything... together. We braved the birth of our first child together without being married... easily the scariest thing for me and anyone who hasn't been through it before.

You and Elek are THE best thing that has EVER happened to me. Without both of you, I would be lost. You give me strength and encouragement to do things I never thought I could do. It is hard to believe that this is our third Christmas together, though I couldn't imagine it any other way. Your aura is unlike anyone else's I've ever seen and I knew you were special from the start. I knew that you had so much to teach me.. and now we have a little one teaching us both a new meaning of love, understanding, persistence, endurance, and happiness to name a few. You made all of this possible and for that I am truly grateful. I hope your Christmas is relaxing and better than any before it. With love,

Peter
