What do you get the girl who has everything?

Danielle,

You are a strong, capable and talented person. You have built your own business from the ground up and turned it into a thriving concern. You do not need anything which you cannot provide for yourself. Your strength and self sufficiency are admirable qualities but they do create a bit of a quandary for me every year on our anniversary because after all, what do you get the girl who has everything?

It forces me to ask myself what you want. What you truly want. I’m not talking about trinkets or baubles. I’m talking about your deepest desires that cannot be easily obtained in exchange for currency. And I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that what my Beauty Girl wants the most is to help others. To offer a leg up to a child who has all of the talent but lacks access through the door to their dreams. A little aid for a family who may be struggling with the illness of a child. A pain that no one should ever have to bear. When I ask myself what would make you truly happy, I know that seeing the joy in the eyes of a child to whom you made a scholarship possible or seeing the relief in the eyes of a parent whom you’ve unburdened from having to pay a medical bill which they cannot afford would make you truly, deeply and completely happy. It is for that reason and more my love that I have taken the liberty of starting a charity in your name.

The Rizzo for Love charitable foundation is a thing! My Love, with this foundation we can spread Love, aid, healing and solutions to deserving children forever. This foundation can be anything that you want it to be. We can use it as a vehicle to help people every year for the rest of our lives. Our children can continue to help children in your name forever.

You have countless outstanding qualities but of them all, empathy for the suffering is your most endearing. With the utmost sincerity I created this charity in your name in the hope that others can experience the love you have in your heart the same way that those closest to you are able to experience it every day.

I love you and I am so proud to be your husband.

Love,

Me
