“I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.

“You taught me to love fearlessly and to open up my heart. I’ve never known anyone like you. I love you to no end.” – Phil Martin
