“With all the ‘missing you’ there is still such a wonderful warmth in the loneliness like looking forward to a bright warm room. No matter how dark & cold it is at the moment - you know the room is there and waiting… Time goes so slowly and I'm such a coward when you are out of sight - so afraid something will go wrong if I'm not there to take care of you, so be very careful. It's time to move on to the next town now and every move is a step toward home and you. I love you so very much I don't even mind that life made me wait so long to find you. The waiting only made the finding sweeter." - Ronald Reagan
