- I'm still a little freaked out but I am really glad I asked you (and I'm even happier you said yes). And even though I'm scared, I know I can get through it with you. Knowing that you won't go anywhere and that you'll be patient with me makes me love you even more. I am so blessed and so lucky to have found you, especially at a time when I need acceptance. You show me the acceptance I hope to show myself. Maybe some day, with your love and example, I will learn to give it to myself. Until then, and even after, I look forward to having you by my side, my dear girl.

- It was nice to think about you today. I had begun to worry that I was growing apart from you, but having you in my mind today quelled those fears. I love you and can't wait for you to get home.
