The 10th of every month is Love Letter Day. I still like to visit this amazing website Loving From a Distance, the best resource for anyone of any age that is in a long distance relationship (ldr). I get advice, and also give advice when those in a new ldr find out I've been in one for so long. Vernon was going through some of his old photos and letters and came across this gem. I totally forgot I wrote it until he started reading it to me. I can't believe how far our relationship has come! Now we're getting married. I submitted this letter to the LFAD website and now others can become inspired by it.
Or... work on their handwriting skills so they don't write as sloppy as me.
Dear Vernon,
There is only about one hour to go. I am so nervous I have to talk myself into remembering to relax. I feel like crying! Not because I'm sad... I cry when I am over emotional... happy, sad, angry, and for today very excited, nervous and happy! I can't begin to describe my feelings right now. I really hope I am not a disappointment. That is my biggest fear.
Will you smile when you see me? I'm almost afraid to look at you. This is so overwhelming. It's like if I make eye contact with you I might explode.
Today will be your day... our day... to get "re"-acquainted. I can't see a clock! I should've got myself a watch. :)
Being at the hotel last night was strange. It didn't seem right for me to be there alone. I hope you like the room.
I am very nervous and beginning to babble! This letter is supposed to tell you how I was feeling 1 hr. before you got here as my emotions will be crazy in one hour's time. I'm very scared. It's kind of a weird scared, like from seeing a ghost. Right now you are only words on a screen or paper, flat photos and a voice on the phone. I will be using my other senses with you and it's a feeling I have never felt before. Scared is the only word I can think of that fits. I will go check the time now... Yikes! You're getting here sooner than 12:10. You are scheduled to arrive at 11:51 and it is now 11:19. 1/2 hr. about! :) I should remind myself you are probably just as nervous as I am, feeling the same as I am, and you love me just as much as I love you. I should just chill out and relax!! 11:22. I shouldn't be watching the clock. It will drive me crazy! But I don't want you to arrive and have no one to greet you. That would suck! :)
I'm going to stopwritingbabbling :)I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART!!!Yours Forever,Kimberly xxoo
In addition to writing that letter I also remember hiding behind a pillar because I was afraid of him seeing me before I saw him. From the time it took him landing to making it through the terminal doors it felt like forever; but I stayed glued behind that pillar the entire time. I confessed later and he just thought that was cute. (I think)
Take advantage of today by writing a love letter to your spouse, significant other, kids, BFF, or the elderly neighbor. Make someones day today.
