When I Say I Love You More
When I say I love you more. I don't mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us. I love you more than any fights we will ever have. I love you more than the distance between us. I love you more than any obstacle that could ever try and come between us. I love you the most. I love you more Leel.
Love Mommy
