Buffie,

I know I say I love you all the time and I want you to know why. I say it all the time because I love you all the time, not just when the time seems right, not just for or during times of passion. I love you all the time because you are beautiful to me inside and out. I love you all the time because you are kind, sweet, caring, generous, selfless… and because you share yourself with me. I love you more every day because I get to know you and experience your love, your devotion and you make me feel better than I thought I ever could. Words cannot express how deep my love is for you and there are too many reasons to list. I love you now, tomorrow and always for who you are. You are the one and only woman in my life, I love you. Bennett~

I am so full of tears today – first, from the encompassing happiness I feel in knowing I have been blessed by God with a man who loves me as much as you do, but I also am sad – sad because of the distance between us, knowing I can’t just see you whenever I want to. And also sad because I know we still have things that must be taken care of before we can be together all the time. I’m sure we will get through them and be together – it just seems like it can’t be soon enough sometimes. Some days are harder than others to deal with not being with you. Thank you for these words of love – it means so much to me to hear you tell me that you love me because I do know that it is not just empty words. I know the depth of how you feel because you show me over and over.

I love you, Bennett, with all that is in me.
