Checking in early my dear...I suspect is was quite the exhausting weekend. No doubt Rachel came into town...perhaps Jeremy and maybe Jeff and Frankie. It's a long weekend and you know how family can be overwhelming, especially with your family. I hope you are resting comfortably and that it was a relaxing weekend if nothing else. Maybe you got to the beach!

I was reading through some old letters you sent me. So much of what you said to me back then holds now...how strong we both are...how we both have to do our work to be whole for each other. How much we have taught and touched each other. And that was just at the beginning of the relationship! :wub2: We both realized all or nothing didn't work. I suspect you will come to that conclusion soon enough now, as well. But I do know that you need the time to yourself without any pressure from me.

I was also reflecting on the very intense nature of our relationship...that intensity I know is more than you can focus on right now and I know the ABSENCE of that rings very hard for me. We went from ALL to NOTHING almost overnight. Both of our reactions are to be expected. I can't help but think of how strong and beautiful things were before this...how strong our connection is and how I'm confident that that connection will sustain us. You asked me to trust you a long time ago that when you had to take care of yourself you'd return to me...I'm trusting in that. I want you to just take care of yourself...do what you have to, then return to me with an open heart and mind!! I'm waiting here for you, with open arms...I love you more than anything...I've never thought I could love someone this much!!! You have said the same to me...I know all of that will come back to you when it is time...but I'm here waiting...and loving you!

Have sweet dreams my dear...I love you very much and I look forward to hearing from you soon! All of my LOVE, sweetie. I am holding you in my arms!!!
