My precious husband,

I hope you had a peaceful sleep, my prince. It was hard for me to leave you last evening. Especially when I know that you are so at peace in my arms…and I do too question WHY it has to be so, why things are the way they are…and whether or not they can be changed. It is one of those things that I have to step back from and try to stay “neutral”. It does seem as though it is an issue that you have thought of frequently lately, love. I wish I had something inspirational to say when you bring it up…something other than I wish it was different as well.

There are so many things that we can do nothing about…and then there are other things that we choose to do nothing about….and of course there are those things that we DO change. I know that there is only SO much that we can do to keep “the world” from tugging at us. Yes, we have to have money to live…we will always have families…and obligations that we cannot change. But I think that overall we do a good job of making sure that all things are kept in balance. I know you work hard to make that happen…and I know you are pulled in ALL different directions. For that reason, I am all the more grateful for the time we have together. I am grateful love, that I am one of your priorities. I never feel like I have been pushed aside or like I am a bother. Thank you, babe! You always make me feel like I am the most important thing in the world to you. I am grateful for that, love. Thank you. I truly appreciate each moment with you. Every moment with you is a dream come true…and I can only hope that those dreams continue to flourish and grow…and the life that we share will ebb and flow and move us to where we are supposed to be. It seems that it has been doing that for us all our lives without our even knowing it. There is not reason to think it would stop now.

So…I look forward, love…to the future and what has been allowed for us this time. I will GLADLY walk that path with you. Arm in arm we will face what the future holds…and embrace it …together.

Forever your adoring wife….D
