A Soldier’s Love Letter
My Love,
Hey sweetie, its Wed. night the 31st of March and right now I am missing you so much. I sent you a box today. It had alot of snack foods homemade cookies that I hop dont go stale, your favorite conditioner Biolage (I think that how you spell it) and the digital camera. I was so nervous about sending it. I’m afraid it want get to you or something. theres a lot of money in the that box w/ the camera and conditioner. I’m worried because last time I talked to you you said you got the Easter box & the box with your exercise equiptment but I sent 3 boxes that day. You are missing the box with all of the food in it. Well anyway I hope you have gotten it or will get it soon.
My days are still going about the same. Yesterday I had to drive to Ft. Bragg to fix your
Today Josh came over and we went to the landfil w/ the dump truck and got 2 loads of mulch. One was for my mom. You know that big flower bed around the Gazebo thats where we put it. The other load I got we are going to park the dump truck up at Food Lion and put a big sign in the mulch that says “Mulch for sale” and my phone #. I hope this will get us some more business. That reminds me yesterday me and josh went and looked at a job on our way to the gym. Its a big landscaping job. Its for Jeff Jones you remember him vitamin man? Well anyway its a lot of stumps we have to dig up and haul off fill the holes we make, put out grass seed and fertilizer, and bring a load of mulch. I havent given him a price yet I have to go around and price supplies. :-) I love you. I also have a job monday for Ms. Reed again she need a load of mulch and wants us to spread it. I need this money right now I’m broke and I really want to save some money so I can take you somewhere when you get home. Actually I’m not BROKE but I’m not letting my self spend the money I saved this month. But anyway back to my day. After all the mulch stuff I went to Wal-mart and got the stuff to put in your box. I packed it good and used alot of tape. But you probably have noticed that by now. You know me the post office gives the tape to me for free :-) and I abuse it. :-) I mailed it around 4:00 and then went to the gym I was there until 6:00 thats the longest workout I have had lately. I am starting to get my endurance in my muscles back. I feel really good workout wise I’m running further and fast in the mornings and lifting heavier in the evenings but emotionaly I’m very sad and I miss you so much. The only thing that keeps me going is seeing your pictures everywhere and knowing you love me and you will be home I dont want to say soon but its the only word that will fit. I truly do miss you and I think about you 24/7. Well its 7:00 now I just got finished eating and now I’m going to study some more tonight.
But enough about me... how are you? what are you doing? do you need me to send you anything? are you still working out? even though you dont need to because you are the most
Love Always & Forever,
Michael
PS Call me. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
May I say to Michael and sweetie that is a truly touching love letter. It is presented here out of respect and encouragement. I do not pry, I feel that there is nothing here to identify you and anyone who already knows you must necessarily be aware that you two are in love.
Now, you are also immortalized and semi-famous.
