I started writing letters to him about things I wanted him to know about me, my life, my thoughts, my feelings, my friends, my family, my past, my failings, my weakness, my shortcomings… all the things I knew I would never be able to tell him to his face, and things that I knew could possibly make or break a relationship. They were the romantic things, the heartbreaking things, the funny things, the sexy things, the things about our future that other couples shared or experienced in their own relationship, but that I always found myself floundering around trying to figure out. He was my future husband, this man I have never met, am not entirely sure even exists, but deep, deep, deep, in my heart of hearts, hope is out there.
I shared these letters online with my friends and readers on Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, and my website, and with each letter more and more people wrote to me and told me how much they enjoyed the letters. How they appreciated them. They asked me if they could use them. If they could share them with their own husbands/wives/fiancé(e)s, or significant others. It was then that I realized that while I’d thought I was only writing letters unique unto myself, I was really writing letters that everyone could see themselves, or someone they knew or loved in.
So I invite you to read this book. It’s short, but then, it’s supposed to be. And it’s only the first installment. I haven’t met my husband yet, and who knows if I ever will. These letters aren’t necessarily even about the destination: the altar, the happily ever after of it all.
These letters are about the journey.
The exposure of oneself to another person.
The vulnerability.
The very true power, the strength in allowing yourself to place your trust in another person and finally be completely open to them. Because when you do that, only then is the foundation solid, and the bond unbreakable.
I ask you to take the first step of this journey with me.
