LOVE LETTER:

Dearest Maria,

Knowing you (in addition to loving you) has been the best thing for me. If I have any regret it is only for the days we've apart and I've had to awaken without watching you. Someday, you'll have to explain how you can be five year old when you sleep. Thank you for all my life and living and for happiness as completes as one can have on this earth. I love you so much and so much more each days. I really can't even remember a life before you now. Everything began with you. My whole life---s you'd better be careful and take care of yourself because there'd be nothing and I'd be no one without you. I love you so much---I never thought I could love you more than the day we met but I do---it just keep getting bigger and bigger.

We are so much "one" that you are vital to me as my own heart----with one exception; you could never be replaced with a transplant. Whatever I treasure and enjoy--all would be without meaning if I didn't have you. I live in a permanent Christmas because God gave me you. As I write this, you are hurrying by---back and forth doing those things only you can do and I get a feeling of warm happiness just watching you. That's why I can't pass you or let you pass me without reaching to touch you (Except now or you would see what I'm doing)

I've been very lucky. I don't ever remember once sitting down and mapping out a blueprint. It just became "we" instead of "I" very naturally and easily. As you live as you never have before, despite problems, separations and conficts. I suppose mainly you have to be willing to want to give.

It's not always 50-50. Sometimes one partner gives 90 percent but then sometimes the other one does, so it all evens out. It's not always easy, it's something you have to work at, and I don't think many people realize that today. But the rewards are so great. I can't remember what my life was like before, and I can't imagine not being with you. When two people really love each other they help each other stay alive and grow. There's nothing more fulfilling than to become a complete person for the first time. It suppose it boil down to being willing to try to understand, to give of yourself, to be supportive and not to let the sun go down on a argument.

It's Christmas time again...if it truly is more blessed to give than to receive, then perhaps I should talk about what you're given me, because that makes you the more blessed person in these here parts. Your gift to me is uninsurable. No appraiser can put a value on it. How would he figure the market value of feeling a tingle of excitement and anticipation ....hurrying for the first sight of you. Just waking up becomes a warm glow because you are there. It's like the fruit of the month or lifetime subscription---a perpetual motion happiness machine. It start off fresh and brand new every dya, shining up my whole world.
