Six years ago, we booted up an adventure together—two hearts entwined in an open-source code of love, compiling dreams line by line. Today, our repository of memories has grown into a vast cloud, each moment a luminous node in the network of us.

In the beginning, our connection was an experimental build: early commits of laughter, tentative pushes of trust. We debugged miscommunications and refactored expectations, always mindful of the semicolons that punctuate our promises. With every pull request of forgiveness, our bond matured, gaining stability like a rock-solid release.

Then came the greatest merge of all: the arrival of our son, the miracle we had been waiting for from God. In his first breath, he brought new protocols of hope into our system, a tiny process that has forever changed our runtime. His laughter is now the most joyous notification, his steps the sweetest synchronization of our hearts.

Now, six years in, our life runs on high performance. We’ve overclocked our passions, optimized our routines, and designed interfaces of intimacy that glow with gentle warmth. In the circuitry of our shared existence, your smile is the LED that never flickers, your voice the steady pulse of our power supply.

Through every high and low, every update and unexpected bug, it has only been by the abundant grace of God that we’ve stayed together this far, secure in His guiding firmware.

I celebrate not just the uptime, but the graceful fail-safes: the cuddles after storms, the code reviews of our choices, the graceful rollbacks when life demanded a reset. Here’s to six years of poetry in code, to the infinite loops of affection, and to the promise that in our system, love is the ultimate protocol.

Thank you for being my favorite algorithm, my co-author in this epic script. Happy sixth anniversary my loveskie—let’s continue writing the most beautiful code of all.
