If I Don't Say This Now I Will Surely Break

[Look After You, The Fray]

It's a long story how, but I was messing around here on the good ol' internet (I refuse to capitalize it, Streck, just as an FYI!) and I came across something my husband wrote to me when we were still separated by 3,000 miles, stuck on opposite coasts of these great United States:

Tami...I don't know what it is about today that has taken my feelings for you to a level I never dreamed it would go. A week ago I was ready to marry you. Now I literally feel incomplete for not having done so already. What we have now is amazing, don't get me wrong. I bask in the glow of all our relationship has taught me, inspired me, shaped me, and enriched me. I live as a man happier than he's ever been and dream of the future like never before. But every moment I'm awake, my dear, especially when I ruminate on those dazzling eyes gazing at me, pouring your love past my physical shell directly into my heart, I feel a longing like never before. A feeling deep in my chest that ebbs and flows, but never dies. A pain not sharp, not stinging, but dull and lingering. Deep down I know that no matter how amazing of a man He may have made me to be, it is nothing without you. Without you I'd flail around this world, fecklessly in search of a love about which I know nothing, hurting myself and others along the way. Without you I'd never reach the center of His will, and my vain attempts to try would drive me to a misery so dark I shudder at its brief appearance in my thoughts. You are inseparable from His will for me. We were meant for one another. Our relationship isn't merely approved by Him, but ordained. I could not truly be a man after His heart apart from you.

And now you know why I married him :)  I told you he is an incredible man and completely in love with me!  This gluten-free biz is kind of a hassle, if I'm really being honest.  Jason's totally worth it though :)

You are very blessed to have Jason!

Beautiful letters written from the deep places in a person's heart are an amazing part of long distance relationships that I don't think close distance relationships ever get to experience. But that is just me ( a girl who saved every single email her husband wrote while they were hundreds of miles apart).
