Weird question so here's some context. My bride and I have been through so much together. But most notably, when we met I brought a daughter and she brought her son to the table. When I came home from my last tour in Iraq it was more like my body came home and my head didn't. Over about 9 months I would deteriorate into a shell of who I am and only express extreme emotions of affection or anger. What almost cost us our family turned into a partial hospitalization at the VA in our state and some of the most intensive therapies and structures I've ever experienced.

Since these changes, I've noticed so many parts and pieces that have come home now. I'm me again and have been for a while now. I'm home. But she suffered through this process bad amd stuck by my side so that I could heal and make it right. So this brings me to my question:

How do I tell my wife I love her? Is there a way or a language that can somehow grasp at the magnitude of what she has done for me as my grounding rod and fortress. As the keeper of our home and family. The mover of the sun and moon. What is something I can do or say or anything that can somehow express my gratitude and pride and honor I feel for her?
