And I thought I loved you then...

Six years ago, today. That’s when who I thought was a goofy, nerdy, young man, stole my heart right out from under me before I even realized it was happening. Little did I know that when I agreed to date him, that would be the beginning of the happiest days of my life. I didn’t say the easiest, because believe me they’ve been anything except that, but I don’t regret a minute of them. I’ve learned a lot from him, and even though he’s five thousand miles away I continue to learn from him every day. He is the most amazing and sincere person I have ever met and I am lucky that I have been able to share the last six years with him. Two months from now will be the first time I will see/speak to him in over two years…I’m nervous. I don’t know what will happen from there. However, I do know that no matter what happens my life will be better because of him. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for sending him into my life. He truly is a ‘mortal angel’ as Elder Holland put it. I am excited to see what the future has to hold, and who knows…maybe 44 years from now I can write about this same thing. And if that be the case, I’m sure the title will be the same…”and I thought I loved you then.”

I love you Daniel Preston Wilding!!

P.S.

To Anyone who knows Dan, I'm willing to bet this is just how you remember him. Guitar in hand and a smile on his face :)
