It’s been one hell of a year. I don’t know how else to say it… life has thrown its curveballs, its chaos, and its quiet heartbreaks. But through it all, there’s been one steady, brilliant light: Anna.
This woman. Y’all. She has showed up and stayed consistent in a way that defies explanation. I don’t think I even fully realized how much I leaned on her until I started writing this post. She’s been my constant, solid, grounding, and absolutely irreplaceable.
Anna and I have a uniquely beautiful relationship. She’s my partner’s wife and also my best friend. If that sentence confuses you, welcome to the joy of a kitchen table polycule 💅 There’s something so powerful about being able to live and love openly, surrounded by people who choose one another every day.
I couldn’t do life without her. Full stop.
She works her booty off! (literally bringing babies into the world) And that kind of nursing isn’t just hard. It’s grueling. It’s adrenaline-filled, high-stakes, emotionally charged work. Every shift demands mental clarity, compassion on tap, physical endurance, and the ability to be both stone-cold calm and deeply empathetic. And Anna doesn’t just do it, she thrives in it. She brings the same tenacity to her job that she brings to her relationships: full-hearted, unflinching, and rooted in love.
And let’s talk about that love for a second. Anna has the biggest heart I’ve ever known. She doesn’t halfway anything. She loves with every fiber of her being, and it radiates into everything she touches. Whether she’s supporting her patients, her family, or our little chaos-cluster of a household, she pours herself into it. Her strength doesn’t just come from grit, it comes from softness, from choosing vulnerability, and from caring on purpose.
Anna is the person who makes hard days survivable and good days exceptional.
So this Thanksgiving, I’m not just thankful for Anna. I’m thankful for us. For what we’re building, for the way she shows up, for every late night text, every meal shared, every laugh, every shoulder she offers me to lean on.
I love you, Anna. Deeply, loudly, and with my whole damn heart. Thank you for being exactly who you are. 💛
