\r
32 To my darling wife,<br>
\r
34 I got your wonderfule letter. Thanks. I need you in my life. You show
\r
35 me the beauty in love with your words. I wish I could write as lovingly
\r
36 as you do. I wish I could draw as good as you so I could show you better
\r
37 how I feel. I have to resort to finding images on the Internet and arranging
\r
38 web pages. It is what I am good at.<img

\r
43 My love, Christmas is almost here and I fear we will be apart
\r
44 for Christmas and possibly New Years too. We must be strong. We must remember
\r
45 that we are very much in love. That we are building a strong family and
\r
46 that family is what is important and what the holidays are all about. And
\r
47 though we won't be together physically on the holiday we are deep in each
\r
48 others minds, hearts and souls. We will celebrate the holidays this year
\r
49 in our own way and it will not be any less important because we are connected
\r
50 as a family and that's the true meaning of the holidays. And next year we
\r
51 will also celebrate the holidays and we will also still be connected - we'll
\r
52 just get to celebrate them in a different way because we'll be together.<br>

\r
56 I want you to rejoice and enjoy the hoidays this year even though you
\r
57 will not be with me - you will be in my heart and thoughts always. You
\r
58 are going through big changes, and with the new year there will be a new
\r
59 you, free from the shackles of your past, maybe for the first time in your
\r
60 life. It might be scary and new to you but realize that you have somebody
\r
61 very near and dear to you and that is me! I will be your rock, a person you
\r
62 can always count on, a person you can confide in, somebody you can rely on
\r
63 to always listen to you, try to understand and have your best interests in
\r
64 mind. Somebody always willing to help you, comfort you, protect you and make
\r
65 you happy because I am very much in love with you.<br>
\r
67 And while we are apart this holiday let us remember what we had, for
\r
68 in this bit world we have managed to find each other, two people who fit
\r
69 so well together, who have faced hardships before and have managed to overcome
\r
70 them. I've said before that we should always keep in mind that deep down
\r
71 there is a very strong bond of love between us. This has helped us get through
\r
72 some very difficult times before where most others would have given up,
\r
73 and it will help us again.<br>
\r
75 You said that you forgive me for all that I have done to you and that
\r
76 I should forgive you for all that you've done to me. I<img

\r

\r
79 do. What has happened here, all the bad things and the finding out of
\r
80 your problems and how they effect you, has helped me a lot to understand
\r
81 why things happened the way they did. With this new understanding I am
\r
82 positive we can overcome all of these things, that you will be much more
\r
83 happy, I will be much more happy and we will have many more of the good
\r
84 times and very much less of the bad times. Knowing what I do now only makes
\r
85 me closer to you and I can be much more understanding of you. And I like
\r
86 what I see! I see that that beautiful, caring girl that I would only see
\r
87 once in a while is indeed alive and real - she wants to come out and play
\r
88 but she needs to feel safe. And I know I can make her feel safe. So I know
\r
89 she will come out and play more often!<br>

\r
93 But love, let us also realize that this will not be without difficulties
\r
94 too. There will be times when things will not be good. We should anticipate
\r
95 and prepare for this. One thing tha twhill help is to remember how much
\r
96 we care for each other. Another is to communicate truthfully and honestly.
\r
97 Finally, and perhaps the most imporant, is to listen and think.<br>
\r
99 So a Merry Christmas to you my love. You are in my heart and mind,
\r
100 as always, but even more right now. Be well. Be strong. Try to enjoy yourself.
\r
101 Think happy thoughts and realize that I love your very much and that...<br>
