My dearest,

Sometimes I wonder if we might be squandering our precious days living apart for weeks, months at a time. Working in two different countries, separating by miles and responsibilities.

Wouldn’t it be easier just to do less and have less, to be together all the time?

Yet this is but a passing thought, a momentary tremor. For we both know we are investing in the best years of our life together, the golden hours, the many autumnal moons under which we shall walk hand in hand, head against shoulder, deep in conversation and companionship.

Those are our precious days too, and we are building the strongest foundation for them.

Yours, ever and always.
