Dear Audra,
Well, another valetines day letter. Only the second one I’ve ever written. I think you remember the first one?
Not really sure how to start this one, but I’m sure I’ll find something to prattle about & keep you interested for a few minutes, you do tell me how much you look forward to getting a letter. I wonder if I’ll get one?
This past week, we’ve had, some up’s n down’s, the last couple of nights not ending on the happiest of notes. But, besides all that, life is pretty damn fine. Yep, I’m sure we will have minor glitches & issues along the journey our union takes us, but I’d like to think we manage to come out of all these very well. Maybe a little battered n bruised temporarily, but I think that seems to pass ok.
I guess that comes from being in things for the long run, that commitment that we have made to each other for a lifetime together. The want to make things work, and work well. What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger, so they say.
I often find myself reflecting on things, us mainly. Going over what is happening in our lives, all sorts of things, anything & everything. I always seem to come back to pretty much the same ending. That life is very good. How you have completed the picture, how glad I am to call you my wife, that there is not a finer lady out there that I could have at my side for the rest of my life. You tick all the boxes.
We have a couple of years history now, not a lot by some scales, maybe it seems more because we have known each other for some time before we became a couple. But there is one thing in particular that I relate back to our time together, it keeps popping up now and then. I can put myself back to the first time we shared a bottle. We have been back to that same place since & we shared a bottle on our engagement. We have enjoyed this wine other times as well, each time as I pick this bottle from the shelf, I find my mind returning to that restaurant that we dined at. Maybe we should go there again soon, for no particular reason.
Thank you for coming along this weekend, I hope it hasn’t been too painful. Who knows, you may become an AC/DC devotee!! I’ll keep working on you. I’ve been walking round all week whistling and singing their tunes, very much looking forward to the show.
As somehow you keep managing to work your power on me. I guess that’s why I find myself thinking of you so much, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it can be disappointing, I guess that’s why most of the time I’m smiling & why life is so good. Because you are everything to me.
You are my world.
You own my heart.
I hope I have yours to cherish for ever.
My dear Audra, I do love you so.
