What’s the right way to tell someone they matter to you?

Maybe it’s a card. But my handwriting looks like a ransom note so that was out. Maybe it’s saying it out loud. But if you’ve ever tried to have a sincere conversation with me, you know that’s not where I shine. So maybe it’s this… a website. Built specifically for you and with a lot of effort.

You’ve been so good to me. Getting to know you has been exactly what I needed in this phase of my life and I really don’t think I’ve said that enough. Or at all tbh (to be honest).

You’re the funniest and smartest hot person I know. But the thing I keep coming back to is how kind you are.

I’m bummed I’m leaving for the winter but, personally, I like to think of it as an intermission. A quick pause before we’re back in our seats for act two to pick up right where we left off.

As you can probably tell I’m not much of a words-of-affirmation guy so this is me trying… hard… but the thesis is that you’re incredible and deserve to be celebrated properly. I hope this does that.

Happy 36th Youri!

Love, Stafford
