Good Afternoon ~ My Beloved Robert ~ I love you more than raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, even though they are some of my favorite things. I love you more than I love hearing a song for the first time in years and remembering every word. I love you more than there are trees on this planet and leaves on each of those trees. I love you more than I love cozying up in a blanket next to a fire in the wintertime. I love you more than every promise that has ever been made since the beginning of time. I love you more than I love the feeling of wrapping my arms around you to hold you when you’re smiling. :) I love you more than cats love to nap in a sunny spot by a window. I love you more than a child loves a bedtime story. I love you more than I love falling asleep to the gentle patter of rain on my window. I love you more than a child loves a free piece of candy. I love you more than the soft embrace of a cozy sweater at Christmas time. I love you more than getting home after a long day and collapsing on the couch, exhaling, and feeling totally relaxed. I love you more than a parent loves it when their child falls asleep right on time. I love you more than a dog loves sticking its head out the window during a car ride to feel the wind in its face. I love you more than an author loves a twist ending in a mystery novel. I love you more than a bee loves making honey from the most beautiful of flowers. I love you more than I love it when my favorite sports team wins their big game. I love you more than a kitten loves a ball of yarn, or a dog loves a bone. I love you more than the very air I breathe. The sea has always called to me and cradled me in its arms, but not as lovingly as I would like to hold you forever. I love you more than I love feeling the sunshine on my face. I love you more than there are blades of grass on God’s green Earth. I could live a million lifetimes and meet a million people in each one, but no relationship would compare with you. I love you more than I love to see the Sun come out after it has been cloudy or rainy for days. I love you more than the sky above – a vast beauty, but nothing so breathtaking as your smile. Each time I go outside and breathe nature into my lungs, I am reminded of what a gift it is to live and what a privilege it is to love you. I love you more than anyone and anything in this world ... Love and Kisses ... Rosine
