An excerpt:
“Why You Mean So Much to Me”
I love you because, where I am dark, you are light. I love you because you shine that light into my darkness every day of our life together.
You make me laugh when I’d rather cry. You make me smile in spite of myself.
You give me all of you, freely, with kindness, sincerity and love, every waking moment.”
How could I not be completely and madly in love with a man who can tell me these things?!
This letter continues to be something that I cherish and I re-read it often. In fact, it is hanging on my bulletin board, right here next to me.
It’s not the paper or the ink that make it mean so much. It’s not even the words really. It’s the feelings that are conveyed–straight from his heart. Along with the realization of how very fortunate I am to be loved in a way I never dreamed possible.
Ok! Enough of the sappy stuff!
Scrolling Saturday was created by Melissa at Such Simple Pleasures (my newest “stalker”!) and Coleen from Manners and Moxie. Go show these talented ladies some love, and let ‘em know I sent ya!
Send me a cup of java!

OK-I’m officially envious. Did he actually create those words himself? Incredible!

@Angela: Yes, he wrote it himself. He is quite talented at writing (as you saw).
@melissa: Sounds like you and hubby are a good match! I’m happy for you!
Thank you, I’m adding you to my blogroll too–and you can’t stop me! Hehe! (My birthday is actually creeping up again–that letter was last year’s gift.)

Beautiful words. What a lovely letter!

Aw!! That’s so sweet! I can certainly see why you’re mad about him!
March 1st, 2008 at 2:07 pm
@Karen MEG: Glad you agree!
@Momo Fali: Yeah, he’s definitely a “keeper”!
March 1st, 2008 at 3:24 pm
I can see why this one was a keeper. Beautiful sentiment.

@Tara R.: That’s what I keep telling him!
@Maria: Yes he is!
@dkaye: The first thing I thought of when I read your comment was that horrible song by the B-52’s “Rock Lobster”! LOL! Then T reminded me of the “Friends” episode. (Now he’ll be singing that freaking song all night! Ahhh!)
@HP: Yeppers! Happy Saturday, I’ll catch up with you a little later!

I love, love. But, I’m just a corny chick like that.
That letter would have made me swoon.

How sweet. He’s a keeper. I was wondering what the logo is “help keep me blogging.” I think I’ve seen it somewhere else, too, and I wondered what it was. Have a great weekend.

Aw…what a softie! I’d be a puddle upon receiving that.
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:18 am
Wow…how great is he? I am such a hopeless, hopeless romantic…I live for stuff like that…Wow …
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:35 am
I love those words…where I am dark, you are light, and you shine your light in the darkness everyday….
How truly beautiful.
You truly are loved.
March 2nd, 2008 at 11:28 am
This just gives me hope. To love and be loved is the the greatest joy!

How sweet! It would be so nice if more men wrote letters like this. Beautiful words.
