Note To My Love

By Fawn Weaver on Friday, August 3, 2012

I can’t believe how quickly time has flown.  For the past six weeks, I’ve enjoyed sharing with you what I’ve learned from so many amazing couples I’ve interviewed around the world.  But for today, I need to do something a little different. 

Right now, at this very moment, I miss husband so much I can hardly think of much else.  So please forgive me for today as my heart’s desire is to write, not to each of you, but rather to the one person who makes my heart skip a bit with just the sound of his voice.

My Love,

I say these three words so often, I hope you never cease to truly hear them: I love you.  You are my love, my life and my rock.  You are my best friend.  No one on this earth can or will ever compare.

You are the best part of me.  Have I told you that?  What I love most about myself, I see through a reflection in you.  My shortcomings, my weaknesses, my setbacks, all seem so minimal because you make them so.  When I make a mistake and am my toughest critic, you wrap your arms around me and whisper, “You were never meant to be perfect.”  You love me, flaws and all.

God placed you on this earth -I am certain of this- to teach me so much.  Patience.  Kindness.  Gentleness.  Unconditional love.  Putting others above yourself.  Giving, expecting nothing in return.  You are the essence of grace.

When I return from this trip, there is nothing I want more than to be held in your arms until the end of time.  I’m grateful for the time spent on this voyage, as difficult as it has been to be away from you, because I’ve learned so much; how to be a better wife, a more loving and considerate person, how this life has been made so beautiful with you by my side.

I cannot wait to see you, to hold you, to caress you.  To see your smile at this moment, would make me so happy.  But I know I must wait, just a little while longer, until my plane makes its way through two more countries before returning to Los Angeles.  It’s there that this journey will truly be complete.  Because I will be back where I belong.  Home.

I love you.

The Mrs.

I’ll be back next week with more of the great lessons I’ve learned on this trip thus far.  The one I’m excited to share with you on Monday came not from an interview conducted, but rather from a book I picked up at a local bookstore in Rome.  I hope you’ll join me then.  Until Monday…make it a great weekend!
