Pg 6 -AN OPEN LETTER TO MY ABOUT TO BE HUSBAND, BOO

              I WROTE THIS 
FRIDAY OCTOBER 4th, 2013...
THE NIGHT BEFORE OUR WEDDING

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An open letter to my Boo.

Tomorrow we become husband and wife 

and I could NOT be happier.

Have you stopped to think about 
just how far we have come in slightly less than 
two months, Honey?

We have gone from you telling me, 
"I love being with you because you 
make my heart sing and my feet dance," 

to

our getting married tomorrow.
MY GOD!

LOL.

BLAZING FAST OR SO IT MIGHT APPEAR.

But it hasn't seemed all that fast living through it.

Has it?

And considering how little time we spend together, 
it's even more remarkable

DISAPPOINTING that, but remarkable.

Yes we had the previous 4 1/2 YEARS as a foundation, 
but when this sea change occurred, 
it in a way reset the clock and VROOM.

MILESTONE AFTER MILESTONE 
we have passed successfully.

Amazing.

And one of the reasons I think we both say this 
FEELS so right is because all this HAS gone so fast. 
Not without pitfalls and upsies and downsies, 
but EVEN THOSE we kinda zoomed through 
with NO thought that they would be fatal to us. 
Not to either of us.

You & me. It has just felt so RIGHT!

Astonishing, actually.

I haven't TRIED to find things 
we don't agree on, 
but I haven't found them either.

Amazing considering the 
divergent backgrounds we have, 
but all that seems to have just melted away.

WE JUST FIT. TOGETHER. 
Period.

EVEN THROUGH THE FITS AND STARTS,

We have survived and only gotten stronger.

I am beginning to think there is 
NOTHING WE CAN'T DO, 
as long as we put our minds to it 
and our collective will 
and our love.

Our love. My God, who wudda thunk it. LOL!

Ok YOU, smart ass. YES, I KNOW. YOU KNEW. 
Long before I did, HOWEVER, you gotta admit. 
Once I get up to speed.....LOL.

But it is powerful methinks 
and I have noticed 
and hope you have.

Honey, you kept saying today 
over and over 
that you love me.

I love to hear you SAY it.

FEELS SOOO GOOD 
and warms my heart.

BUT I had noticed a lot of days 
you couldn't seem to.

But it seems to be easier now.

AND, GOD the PASSION 
in your voice today 
each time you said it

Powerful.  
Almost blew me off my chair, 
and I noticed. 
I hope you did.

You're saying it more, 
you're DOING it more

And more

And more

in ways just days ago you didn't.

But it's like you are now 
DETERMINED 
to show me 
that you DO love me and

you want me to know that.

You seem now more sensitive to my needs

And that is beautiful and VERY appreciated,

And it gets me teary.

Sorry, but this for me is an emotional time.

Maybe that is the difference in us so far.

I show it more than you, but then again...
maybe that is changing too.

Maybe the change is TO 
who YOU REALLY ARE 
more than before.

Writers and creative types, musicians, painters, etc. 
are BY NATURE...sensitives and must accept that
 as a natural part of their nature.

Not necessarily by choice as in my case, 
but because it just IS.

Writers MUST be inquisitive, curious, 
serious observers of the world around them,

Sensitive to others.

Most are...and I think as you mature 
and grow as a person and in your craft,

that will become more true. Did for me.

I went to town the other day with my neighbor. 
A non-creative type. trust me.

We passed a couple of animals dead by the roadside 
including an obviously young deer.

I got a lump.

He felt nothing it was plain to see.

Maybe barely noticed.

You and I NOTICE

And when spurred can then articulate 
to a broader audience the experience...

Our feelings,

Our emotions,

Visceral and real.

THAT is what makes for a great writer in part.

The ability to observe, absorb, and then articulate 
the observation in a way that will inform,

Entertain, etc.

THIS IS what WE, YOU AND I, will shoot for 
in regards to growing you as a craftsman.

As a human being.

And as a husband

MY husband.

Who I am SO PROUD to call 
MY HUSBAND, 
MY BEST FRIEND, 
MY LIFE.

MY LIGHT,
MY AIR AND WATER AND FOOD.

We have come a LONG WAY 
in the last two months. 

Think how much further we have to go 
and about the journey.

FOR THIS IS A JOURNEY,
ONE I CANNOT WAIT TO TAKE
FURTHER AND FURTHER...

and it IS ONE I AM HAPPY TO TAKE 
WITH YOU...

FOR IN THE END, I must tell you...

FOR ALL MY LIFE, I now see 
there has been 
 something missing.

There was a huge hole with
 NO idea how to fill it 
or with what or who...

UNTIL NOW.

There was this enormous puzzle
 with pieces missing, 
but...

What and where are they?

Honey, I've told you and it is true. 
I have NEVER EVER needed a mate. 
Never. I've had them 
but NEVER sought them out.

They found me just as you did.

Now, it is the weird feeling...

"HOW IN THE HELL DID I EVER 
GET THIS FAR WITHOUT HIM?"

YOU HAVE COME and FIT into my puzzle 
and suddenly I am complete for the

FIRST TIME EVER.

THE CAVERN INSIDE ME 
YOU HAVE FILLED,

and I am TOTALLY STUNNED 
by all this, but

INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for the PRIVILEGE 
of being with you and becoming your wife. 
I will NEVER want to be anywhere else
 OR WITH 
anyone else.

FOR ME, THIS IS IT!

I LOVE YOU BOO.

NEVER FORGET THAT!

Hugs
