Complimentary Gifts

To: My Love

Have I ever told you how much you have impacted my life since you came into it? Do you know how well you compliment my life?

Today was a pivotal day in our relationship; I told my dad and stepmom about you. I didn't tell you today, but I had no fear that they would be accepting of you because you are everything any parent would want for their daughter. I told them everything I love about you, just like what I told you tonight when you asked what attracts me to you. Even as I was talking about a completely unrelated topic after having told my dad, he interrupted me to tell me that I sounded happy and that's because I am. Because of you. I have not had a bad day since we started talking two months ago, and that's counting how terrible egg freezing was for me. You have brought so much additional joy and excitement to my life in such a spectacular way. Your energy towards life and being alive in general is infectious.

I feel like with you all the plans I had for my life feel even more complete. For example, I've been wanting to write a book since before I knew you. I was having a hard time with the topic and feeling uninspired. The second you show up I have what I believe is a best seller inspired by you. Another example is that I have been trying to figure out the best way to get back to Africa after having fallen out with my one friend who loves to travel as much as me. Then, just when I had resolved myself to European travel, you come along and now I can visit Nigeria, where I never would've gone otherwise. This is what I think it means to have someone be a compliment to your life and your goals and your dreams.

Just your presence has pushed me more over the last two months than the last year. Uche you are the compliment to my life that I never knew I needed or that I never knew I deserved. Earlier today you said I was your soulmate, well this is the stuff soulmate connections are made of. I love you entirely.
