The three most important words

A year ago yesterday, Daniel told me he loved me. Yep, that's right. Six days after we started dating, he told me he loved me. And you know what? I said it right back. I asked him later if he felt like he said it prematurely. I was surprised when he said "absolutely not." He told me the reason he felt so strongly that he should say it, was because he had spent that day with my family - playing with my nieces and nephews, getting to know my siblings (we were having a family reunion in SG) and he told me that he could see himself as part of our family. Yep, my family reeled my husband in. So thank you kids, siblings, and Mom and Dad. Because of you, my boyfriend wanted to marry me.
