Garrett and Seth:
This is a letter that your dad wrote me for Valentines 2014. He asked me not to share it with anyone but I wanted to share it with you boys. Loving your significant other is so important. You need to understand that feelings are meant to be heard and expressed no matter when or what time of the year it is. It is important to tell your wife that you love her, and that she is your everything.

My Sweetness,
Ever since the very first day we met, I was completely clueless to the fact we would be creating the extraordinary life we now have, surely is a move that I will never regret.
It was a new and exciting turn for me as a young man. But as we quickly started to "settle down" two years go by and I've discovered how to be an adult, and how every-joyous it is being a husband and a very very proud Dad.
You mean the world to me, my ginger headed beauty of a wife. I'm going to continue to stay strong and support this family we've made until my very body is depleted of life.
You have turned this boy into a man and given me more than I could ever need and want without even trying. You've got me for eternity and that's okay by me, if I were to try and deny my happiness with you or my love for you I tell you it wouldn't happy I'd be straight lying.
"Number 1" in my book that is where you land and forever that's where you'll stay. Right next to you is where I want my head to permanently lay.
You're my woman, I'm your man. I never want you to think I'm not doing the best I can to keep you happy and treat you right. It's probably one of the toughest jobs I've had so at times it's hard keeping up but I will relentlessly continue to do so, and really hope I'm doing alright.
As long as I have you at my side we will properly raise these boys and turn them to men over time. It's going to be twenty years or so of truth, lies, happy, tears, sad, cries, smooth and rocky, but you and I will always overcome any darkness thrown in our path with our own self-made light. <3
Ups and downs, twists and turns, are all part of this journey we call life and similar to a rollar coaster with nothing but blind corners. But now that we've found each other and found out what "true love" is, together we can accomplish anything without any borders.
I took a leap of faith completely blind to what our future would come to be. Luckily you saved me on my last chance at a decent life, you were there my anger, my one and only, my wife, not to mention the mother of our beautiful boys, I couldn't ask for anything else. I do believe now that my wants and needs have practically been fulfilled, and am truly happy.
Our relationship was someones idea of a joke, but ha ha ha now we're the ones laughing. Creating a family was a goal in like I was sure was way out of my reach, yet three years and two states later here I am complete and I am winning and us two as one will do it right, hopefully so right we'll be greatly admired in our passing.
Gray hairs, rocking chairs, front porch, watching sunsets is whats in store for us. Kids will be grown and gone off starting their own, we will be in our later days but will gaze at each other ever so adoringly and simultaneously say without words, "we've had one hell of a great ride".
It would be my greatest honor to live out the rest of my days with only you and nothing makes me happier than having you and you having me. What we have made together is honestly a rarity in this day and age, but we've got it and we are going all the way together forever is all I ever want to be.
You have filled the voids in my life which believe me was no easy task, now my heart no longer aces. yup! I've found the one for me, the one who I get to come home to, the one with whom I am lucky enough to lay next to every night until the end, and that right there is something that as long as I'm breathing nobody can take.
I truly love you with the whole of my heart, wouldn't trade for anything in existence, nor would I try to change it from what it is, for one reason only and that is we as a team can make it through anything. The love I have for you is ever burning inside me and will never subside or grow weaker. I love you Ashlee, you are my everything.
Love Always your love, friend and forever devoted husband,
Brian Miller
P.S. I just want you to be fully aware that you are perfectly perfect for me in almost every single way I can imagine.
Valentines 2014
