I Love Romantic Men

Tree Murderer

Written on March 21st, 2010

Since my husband and I started our relationship on September 23, 1998 until the day he died, November 20, 2008 he wrote and gave me a letter everyday.  All of them handwritten, and all of them different, unique and special. Some include stories that, if appropriate (haha), we would share with our children for bedtime: tales about space travelling, or getting lost in the woods, stories about talking animals... Others are erotic and sensual, and they excite every inch of my body :-)

I have kept, and intend to always do, each of his letters, and poems. They are the biggest physical treasure I have, and remind me of his endless love and dedication to our relationship. I hope he can fogive me now, but I will share some select paragraphs of the first that I see in the bunch. Although all of them have dates and could be ordered chronologically, having them in this cute messy state allows me to be surprised every time I read them. Will it be one of ten years ago?

The best possible translation, even with my poor abilities for it:

June 11, 2001:

--You have taken me to the most amazing places; dream lands that I never imagined existed; you have given me wings, and offer me the freedom I need; you give me pleasure, and make me dream, you give me life, love, warmth, everything and without asking anything in return,...--

April 11, 2008 (while I was on a business trip):

--What are you doing today? Where will you be tomorrow? Do you know that I miss you? Do you have a clue without you I am not really alive?... What will you eat? At what time will you go to sleep? Do you ever think of me?... and meanwhile... What will I do? Where will I go? Will I be able to sleep without you all these days? As always, I want to ask you to take care of yourself. It would tear me apart if anything happened to you, please, do it for me, for our love. Try to text me now and then when you have time. For me, you should not worry, I will take care of myself and behave, will take care of the kids and keep the house clean. I promise I won't eat fries!! I will wait for you as always, with all my love.

Ok, already after opening these two from the bunch... I will have to stop for tonight. It feels so overwhelming, but beautiful.

    It is hard to say what the future will bring. Could spend all day making up what if questions and answers.

    Yes, I think I understand. Do you think as time passes by and you start healing more, you will lower your guard a little and change from survival mode to living mode? Right now I feel in survival and it is pretty tough.

    Depends how i felt about the person. If it was a new friendship or someone i didnt know well i would be on guard. If i was really feeling them, then i probably wouldnt mind to much, but i also might, I kind of push affection away.

    And when they do it to you? What if someone wrote you letters about loving you and how handsome and special you are? What would you tell that person?

    I am not good at the romance thing... Just wasn't raised that way. I am good at fighting and surviving and that type of stuff.

    (There goes that face of mine again!) There is a grin on my face, and a strange heaviness of the eyes. Something in my chest and belly also! What you shared has sent my complete body into a warm fuzzy reaction. The fact you shared them here, with us, has done such a number on my head that it is paralyzed with only my eyes able to express warm grief . Son of a gun!!! How in the world can you be so loving that by sharing it you have managed to multiply it a thousand fold? (Shaking head back and forth) I will never I am sure, NEVER see such demonstrations of love like this ever again! Even in a novel. There has been things you shared that has left me wordless. The warmth of your gratitude fanned by the soft breezes of intent. This goes beyond that, so I should shut my mouth! (Its gaping open still ya know?) I could go on...no I couldn't. (Smiling big now).... ...

    Thank you for sharing such special moments and times of your life. I'm guessing it wasn't easy. Thank you.
