A Letter to my Future Husband

October 1, 2014

To my Lovely, Future Husband,

Hi, how are you doing?  Its been a while since I wrote last.  Actually, I have never written to you before cause I haven't met you yet.  I believe that there is a someone for everyone, and sometimes it just takes longer for your paths to cross.  I think life works in mysterious ways making sure we are ready to meet that special someone when the time comes.  Maybe there are important life lessons we must learn, or maybe we need to learn who we are as individuals, or maybe have a good understanding of what we want out of life.  If you are going to share a life with someone, you need to know those things, right?

I don't expect you to move in right away, nor do I want to put a ring on your finger just yet.  I want things to start off simple and dinner is always a good place to start.  I know a few good vegan restaurants that I could introduce you to.  Heck, even Indian or Thai restaurants have different vegan options or we could go for a big plate of spaghetti.

Then we could head out for some bowling.  I like a bit of competition, just be prepared to lose! Ha!  Maybe we could even catch a new sci-fi movie that is out?  I know when you first meet someone, you should go somewhere to talk, however silence can be golden.  Just sitting there, maybe even holding hands, can be nice too.  

 As the winter months approach, we could grab our skates, a couple of coffees and head to the ice rink.  Don't worry about falling, I'll be right there to catch you.  Or maybe I'll fall too, and land on top of you like in those cheesy romantic movies.  Of course that would then be the perfect opportunity to take a selfie.

Whatever we end up doing will be good, as long as it includes a lot of laughter and of course, you.  You are the reason I am writing this letter.  You are the reason I exist.  Okay, so I do have a lovely daughter, and I exist for her but its you that I am suppose to share the many ups and downs of life with.  I guess I just need to be patient, and keep walking this path.  This path that crosses with yours and turns into just one.  A path where we can walk side by side, holding hands and moving into the future together.

So please write back, I miss you an awful lot.  Your handsome smile, your warm heart, your strong hugs and your soft, passionate kiss.

Yours Truly,

Joey XO 

Before I go, I want to share with you a quote from a book I read recently.  I believe its a good definition of true love.

"Love is the degree to which you are willing to sacrifice your own interests for those of another.  It doesn't matter what sex you are.  It doesn't matter who you are, or were.  It only matters that you care more for someone else than you do for yourself."
