Our future...

You left this morning. It’s a bit strange, but there’s such happiness in my heart, about your time here and about the future it’s beginning, that it nearly overwhelms the sorrow of your absence. As we lay in bed this morning, you told me, amongst so many other beautiful things, “I knew I loved you before I got here. Now I know that you’re my future, too.” I had no words then. I don’t know that I do now, either, in truth, save for that I feel the same way. How could I not? These have been perhaps the best days of my life thus far, and still, somehow, leave me certain that they will be surpassed many times over during this adventure with you, as this is just the beginning of our story. I think these letters will become a chronicle of them, then, so that, many years from now, we can revisit what we’ve done and remember the road that led us into the bright future, through the dark times, and into the imperfectly perfect life we’ve built. I love you, my sweet, beautiful girl.
