Every time I am feeling down, I think of you. It might sound odd to you, but you save me every day. I have moments where I am stressed out, or I am completely broken down and don't know what to do. Life is not easy. "He never said it would be easy, He only said it would be worth it." I know that this is true on so many different levels. There are the eternal aspects with families being together forever and other aspects of eternal glory, but there are temporal aspects too. Someone told me the other day, "people who tell you that these are the best days of your life are wrong. Don't worry. These are nowhere near the best days of your life."
My life isn't awful now. It's difficult. It's a very taxing time in my life, as it is for everyone. I know there are a lot of people who have it worse. This is not me complaining about my life. But in times of trial--because there are always going to be trials--I ponder on the future. I think about life far down the road, with you and the kids. The knowledge that there is going to be a wonderful life with our family is enough to make me keep going. I can't wait for those days.
Will you tuck the kids into bed while I watch from the doorway, without you knowing I'm there? Will you come home late and talk to me from the kitchen table while I heat you up dinner after a long day? As long as you're with me, I know things will be fine. Will you deploy for long periods of time if you are in the military? As long as you come home, I will wait.
Is it strange to you that I love you, and we haven't even met? Or maybe we have, and I just don't know it yet. I think I'm going to start writing these in some form of notebook.
I love you. Thanks for being patient with me.
Love,
Your Future Wife
