Just how I fell in love with my valentine does not surprise me one bit. I’ll never forget his smile, that’s the first thing that melted my heart. His smile punctured my heart very deep right from the start. Then it had to be the way he treated me. He always treated me with utmost respect and like a lady should be treated.

Then his never ending patience with me, it had to be love when he would tutor me 8 plus hours a week in algebra. He never once made me feel stupid when he had to explain a simple procedure that would take over an hour for me to finally grasp. Algebra came very hard for me when I was in college and he never once threw in the towel when it came time for me to study. He never left my side while I was doing my homework and must say he taught me more than any teacher ever taught me. I’ve had great teachers in my life, don’t get me wrong, but I’m one who needs A LOT of extra help in certain subjects. I’ll never forget my light bulb moments with him right there celebrating with me. I’ll never forget my last Algebra exam in college. I was the last student left in the room taking my exam when the professor came back to my desk to see how I was doing. I was sitting there toiling over the last problem when the professor told me I was on the right track and to keep going. He then took the rest of my exam to grade what I had already done. When the professor finished grading my paper he said, you already have an A on the exam even if you get the problem you’re working on wrong. I can never thank Bobby enough for his never ending patience with me. He is such a kind and patient man and I’m so thankful for his genuine mellow personality. Thank you for believing in me darlin’.

Bobby has always been there for me to support my dreams. At the time I was going to college I was studying to get my degree in Graphic Art Design. Bobby was right there supporting me all along. I just loved my computer classes and really got into all of the cool graphics we were doing. I would get to class early so that I would have time to do all the examples in the book, not just what was required. That truly was my passion at the time and there was no stopping me. After our move from Korea back to the states, I was watching a show one day where a lady was making pottery. When Bobby came home from work that day I told him “I know what I want to be when I grow up.” I explained to him about the show I saw and the very next week I was taking pottery classes’ downtown. Within a month he bought me the Cadillac of pottery wheels, then a huge kiln that resides in his garage and whatever it was my heart desired. He’s my number one fan and when he comes home at the end of the day, he wants to see what I’m working on so into the studio we go for a look see.

I’ll never forget one of my friends (from work) telling me before we got married to “just wait until the honeymoon is over” and how relationships are hard work. To this day, Bobby tells me that I’m not a chore and that he does not have to work to love me. He thanks me for not being a nag and I must say the honeymoon is wonderful and we plan to honeymoon for life.

Each and every day when Bobby walks through that door at the end of his day, he swoops me up into his arms and when I ask him “how was your day” he replies “better”. I can’t say thank you enough for making me feel complete each and every day and loving me so completely. There are not enough words to express my love, Bobby, you’re my Beloved Valentine now and always.
