"Do you remember one of our very first dates when you surprised me and took me ice skating? I tried to put on a brave face, but I was terrified. I held onto that rail like my life depended on it. It took you so much coaxing and everything I had to finally let go. You promised you'd hold my hand the whole time. It defied every law of physics, but somehow you kept me up right. I did not fall, not once. My fear turned to excitement and joy! And that has been our life so far. You've pushed me to better myself even when things are scary. Whenever that doubt creeps up you're there with encouragement and strength. Among many other reasons, that's why I love you." -Nicole
