To My Wife

Dear Wife,

      Today I went to Tim and Brea's wedding reception. It was great! I wish you could have been there. You would have googled over her dress and would have been impressed with how nice they made that cold chapel look.  You know they meet through Tim's mom? She thought they would be great together, she couldn't have been more right!
     I thought about you the whole ride home. It really made the hour dive fly by! I'm really sorry that we can't be together right now. Sometimes I want nothing more then to be with you, I hope you feel the same. I'm sure that you understand why we are not. I guess the Lord has some more training for me. I've got a few character wrinkles to iron out and I need to be able to support you. So please be patient while your knight is shining his armor. I know that you deserve the best so that is what I am trying to be.
     Sometimes I have moments when I can see and have a small taste of what it will be like to be with you forever. It's really hard to describe for me. It's a bit like the joy of Christmas, combined with the excitement of spring, the summer evening feel, the calm of autumn, and the peaceful feeling of falling snow. I'm sure you understand the feeling I am trying to describe. I'm a bit awkward at these things. The last few times I've gone home I can feel your absence. Kind of weird isn't it? But that should be expected when your life is not complete.
     Please be patient with me. I'm trying and the Lord is really helping me but I can't tell you when we will be together. Only He knows that and He has decided to keep it a secret. I'm in no rush though because however long it takes I'm sure eternity with you will be worth it.

     Well I need to go to a party that Dan Hales has invited me to. Who knows, maybe you'll be there!!

Faithfully Yours,

Brighton

PS I hope that you also are preparing for this great day so that our union will be equally sweet for the two of us.
