A Love Letter To John

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we asked Patch readers to write a love letter to that special someone and let us deliver it. This is Karen DeFord’s love letter to her husband, John:

Dear John,

In 1999 when I sent that email to someone and accidentally sent it to you, that was the best accident I could ever have had. So, I have to wonder: Accident or fate? I have to go with fate. For me to be AOL and you to be on Yahoo and to discover that we lived 25 miles apart had to be fate. And then to discover that we both collected bears, had the same bed, and went to the same family camp as kids was incredible. You have completed my life. You are my best friend and are my Valentine for now and always. Thank you for making me your wife. Thank you for being a great stepdad and a fantastic grandfather. You are my person!

Love, Karen
