I still remember the day we met. You asked me to dance, and I said no because I didn’t know how to dance to country music. You smiled, offered to teach me, and then asked for my phone number.

Well, 26 years later, I don’t think you ever gave me that dance lesson—I had to learn on my own! Looking back, I’m so glad I didn’t know how to dance. It turned out to be the best excuse I ever had. This year would have marked 32 years together. I miss you every single day, and I will always treasure the beautiful life and memories we shared. No matter how much time passes, you will forever hold my heart.
