I wrote this for my DH, but it's really a thank-you from all heart patients (and people with other conditions) to their significant others. Feel free to copy it and share with your SO.

"Thank you for not defining me by my condition, but seeing how much more there is to me besides that. Thank you for helping people remember that I have a name--and it isn't 'Heart Disease’. Thank you for still being here. Whether or not you knew what you were signing on for when you chose to let me into your heart, I'm aware that there have been 'surprises' since that day that you've struggled with. Your care and commitment have made a crucial difference and I can't imagine facing this without you."
