Through it

I heard this song on the radio this morning, and wanted to post the lyrics because I think it's so beautiful. (As I'm sure it does others, it makes me cry every time I hear it.)
I think of me and Sean when I hear the song because he's done just as the song describes: loved me through everything I've been through this past year. And I know he'll continue to love me through - the rest of life, no matter what happens.
I could search for 1,000 years to find the right words that describe how I feel about Sean's love for me. But I wouldn't be able to find them. Because no words are right enough, perfect enough.
Valentine's Day may have been yesterday (thank you, honey, for my pink roses and beautiful card!) but it is every day I love Sean more and more. And I am so excited for that love to keep growing every day.
So here's the song. This is for my wonderful, loving, strong fiancee, Sean, who has been my rock and my best friend, and guided me and supported me through perhaps the most difficult time in my life. And what's more - he's loved me through it, more every day, and more in every way. I have found my soulmate. And I get to marry him next month!
This song is also for anyone else it touches. Friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives, who not only love their partners "through it," but love them more both because of it and in spite of it.
It's true love that doesn't just withstand hardships; it grows and thrives with them. And it's Sean who taught me that existed.
Here's to love. Every day.

"I'm Gonna Love You Through It"
Martina McBride

She dropped the phone and burst into tears
The doctor just confirmed her fears
Her husband held it in and held her tight
Cancer don’t discriminate or care if you’re just 38
With three kids who need you in their lives
He said, "I know that you’re afraid and I am, too
But you’ll never be alone, I promise you"
When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
When you let go, I’ll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can’t take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.
She made it through the surgery fine
They said they caught it just in time
But they had to take more than they planned
Now it's forced smiles and baggy shirts
To hide what the cancer took from her
But she just wants to feel like a woman again
She said, "I don't think I can do this anymore"
He took her in his arms and said "That's what my love is for"
When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
When you let go, I’ll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can’t take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.
And when this road gets too long
I'll be the rock you lean on
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.
I’m gonna love you through it.
