Once upon a time, in my previous blog life, I posted a series of famous love letters. It's getting close to Valentine's Day, so I thought I would repost a collection of them for the next few days... I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Dear First Lady
I know tradition has it that on this morning I place cards, Happy Anniversary cards on your breakfast tray. But things are somewhat mixed up. I substituted a gift & delivered it a few weeks ago.
Still this is the day, the day that marks 31 years of such happiness as comes to few men. I told you once that it was like an adolescent's dream of what marriage should be like. That hasn't changed.
You know I love the ranch but these last two days made it plain I only love it when you are there. Come to think of it that's true of every place & every time. When you aren't there I'm no place, just lost in time & space.
I more than love you, I'm not whole without you. You are life itself to me. When you are gone I'm waiting for you to return so I can start living again.
Happy Anniversary & thank you for 31 wonderful years.
I love you
Your Grateful Husband

ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to go hug AFG right now.
I've always wanted to read the book of his letters to her. Maybe one day I'll remember!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet man he was.
