Hello, You!

It's so good to finally see you again. I've missed you. It's been too long, but we're back together, and that's what matters. I know we have much rebuilding to do, but we'll get there. Your smiling face made me want to cry tears of joy. 

You're worth it. We're worth it. Whatever effort is needed, it's important. Not even just for us, but for those closest to us and the future we want to have. Thank The Lord that we found each other again. I know life will continue to create change, and that's wonderful, but let's not lose each other again.

I sit here and just shake my head with a slight grin because you were so close and I just kept missing you. I know this won't be easy. I'll stumble, I might even lose hope that we can keep this together, but I don't want to forget what I saw today. It may not be much to others, but for me, it was a rare experience.  I can only name two other times it has happened, where I saw the real you. The you that you keep hidden, even from me. 

The pain, the fear, the grief. Under the right circumstances those can be tools, powerful weapons even in this life. But given to the wrong person, or misused even by mistake, they are harmful, deadly even.

Regardless, I think we might just get through it this time. Here's to you. To hope, it's not as bad as it sometimes sounds.

Have a fantastic day. See you soon. I love you.
