My Dearest Love,
Even in my moments here at home, rather than there with you in the hospital, my thoughts are continuously with you. I know it’s silly to be writing when I will see you in just a few hours, but I want you to know that every moment, no matter where I am, my heart and all my love are right there with you. You can keep this letter by your side to remind you that my unwavering love and devotion are like an unbreakable link joining us together forever.
I know how hard it is for you there alone sometimes, the worries, the treatments, the feeling that you are just a patient with an illness and not a whole person in the eyes of the doctors. But, they are the very best in their field, and I just know they will pull you through this. I also know deep in my heart that my love and your parents’ love will also hasten your recovery. Sometimes doctors forget the incredible power of love and how it brings relief from pain and speeds the body’s ability to heal, but I never for a moment forget this!
I will be honest here for a second and admit that sometimes I am so afraid that I feel paralyzed, as though I am gripped tightly in some giant’s fist. What gets me through is the beautiful vision I have of our future together. This illness is temporary, you will recover and our joyful life together will resume and last for a long, long time. Have I told you that two of the mares are pregnant? Joseph is blazing a new trail through the woods, and I can hardly wait until we ride the trails again together. This is how our future will be, the ranch will prosper, our beloved horses will thrive and we will watch it all happen standing side by side with our arms around one another. Isn’t that just wonderful? It will happen, I know it, and I want you to hold on to this shining vision too. We have worked so hard, nothing will stop us!
Let me tell you about this morning for a few minutes while it is fresh in my memory. When you are lying in that barren hospital room, I want you to be able to transport your mind home. Feel yourself at home and soon you will be. Anyway, this morning I rode out to our favorite field up on the hilltop to watch the sunrise. The mist was swirling through the trees along the creek as the sun broke through the morning clouds. I took both our horses, as I always do, in hopes that maybe you would somehow feel the freshness of the morning and the overwhelming hope for a beautiful day that the rising sun always puts in our hearts. For a second, I almost forgot you weren’t with me, and turned to your empty saddle thinking I’d see you smiling as the light spilled over the hill. I missed you so much then I thought my heart would break, but yet, I felt your comforting presence there with me. Maybe you could feel it too?
I will see you in just a few hours!
I love you with ever fiber of my being,

Dearest Leon,
I am feeling a little shy about writing this letter to you, but I think it may be the simplest way for me to express my thoughts, my desires and my overwhelming happiness at your return! I know I stay pretty closed up emotionally, and I’m pretty sure that is one of the main reasons things didn’t work out before. When you packed your bags and told me that you had had enough of the cold way I treated you I was simply astounded. I honestly didn’t realize you felt that way, not until the very last moment when the door closed as you walked out. All of a sudden, I was alone. Emptiness filled my soul where once your handsome face and loving ways had filled my heart to overflowing. How could you not have felt how I loved you?
After you left, I knew I had to figure it all out. So, I went from friend to friend, asking them to be totally honest. I told them in order for me to change, I had to know what I needed to change. One after another they told me how they could clearly see in your face how much you loved me. They said your eyes just glowed when you looked at me and how you, without even thinking about it, constantly let me know with a gentle touch or loving look that you were focused only on me. When I asked them how I acted, they told a completely different story. Although I always seemed happy, that happiness was not really directed at you. I didn’t do the things you did so easily. I didn’t let you know how incredibly important you were to me and how much I loved you. It was as though I was alone on a stage, the most important person on that stage and you were just a prop in the play. You can’t imagine how shocking this was to me, but it was exactly what I needed to hear in order to change! I see now that this is the danger of keeping your emotions so privately closed to the outside world. Even the person I loved most in the entire world couldn’t feel it!
After I realized what I had caused, I decided I would do anything necessary to change and then try to get you back! My friends were an enormous help. After talking to me, they could see that you were the world to me, that I loved you with all my heart. All I had to do was let these emotions out instead of holding them tightly inside. So, for the past year I have been working continuously, reading every book I can find about genuinely expressing what you feel and trying so hard to make a change. I think I am improving incredibly well. My first success was getting up the nerve to give you a call to see how your life was going. When you said I sounded different I was so excited. You were hearing the new me, expressing my inner feelings! And now, here we are giving our love a second chance. I am so grateful to you, so incredibly in love with you! Now, I am confident that our love will prosper and grow even stronger!
With All My Heart,

My Richie,
I know you will never see this actual letter, there is no way to send it to you where you are now, but I’m hoping you will somehow hear my loving words and rest a little easier. If only we could foresee the future and I could have stopped you as you left that evening, but of course, neither of us knew that was the last time we would see each other on this earth. Did we kiss as you left? I’m not even sure. You were just running to the store and I was busy writing my thesis paper, so it is quite possible we didn’t even think to do our usual hug and kiss as one of us heads out the door.
I so badly want you to feel my love, as I absolutely know it is an everlasting love, one that filled our hearts to overflowing for more than five years and will last until the end of time. Oh, just to see your handsome face and feel your gentle touch again! I would give anything to simply replay that evening, hugging you and kissing you farewell. But, I know that is impossible, so again, I sit here alone weeping. My days and nights have become unbearable without you, but please don’t worry about me, knowing how much you loved me keeps me going. I’m sure you would want me to be happy, grateful for the wonderful time we spent together.
So, here is what I will do with this and future letters. Remember that little cove down by the river where we would spend warm evenings fishing? It is such a special place, and we had so many beautiful times there. I am sharing my letters on my iPad and uploading them onto the internet from our spot, and perhaps that way my message will float out into the universe and reach you. I surely hope you will feel the incredible love I am sending to you!
You Are My Only Love and Always Will Be,
[Name Withheld to Protect the Innocent]
