How I Met Your Mother - Brian's letter to his wife and kids

This is Brian, I thought that I would take a minute to leave a record of the day that that changed/saved my life. I hope that someday my kids will have read this and found someone that changes their life. Then they will know how much I love their mother.

March 21 is usually the first day of Spring, but March 21, 1996 was much more than that. It was the first day of my life. This was the day that I first met Kim, and looking back, it doesn't really seem that I was alive until I met her.

I had never seen anyone so beautiful. Her eyes were mesmerizing, and I was lost in them. She was shy, and a little reserved, but I knew there was something special about her when I first saw her. I was home from college on Spring Break, and our mom's wanted to set us up on a blind date. Kim said no at first, but agreed to meet me. Thankfully, after we met, she changed her mind, and agreed to go. If she had not, who knows where I would be right now, but I know I would not be this happy.

On March 22, I took her to a Jazz game. I don't remember any little details about that night, but I remember that everything in the world seemed different. I know now, that everything seemed different because, I had found my other half. Kim is everything that I am not, and she inspires me to be more than I can be on my own.

When I think about all of the things that had to happen just right for us to meet, I know that we were meant for one another. Call it whatever you want, but we were destined to meet that night. We were destined to fall in love, get married and have a beautiful family. We were destined for happiness.

I cannot explain why. I cannot tell you that I deserve to be with Kim. I don't know why she chose me, but I know that I am the luckiest man that ever lived. I know that that I love her more than can be told, shown, and even imagined. I know that I am married to my best friend, and that we will always be together.

I know that March 21, that first day of Spring, was also the first day of our lives together. It was the first day of truly being happy, it was the first day of Kim...
