And there you were. Looking back at me in a congested sea of travelers and machines. From afar I whispered to you, "I love you." I know you heard me because you smiled and whispered it back. I think I fell in love with you a little bit more today. Airports seem to be our third home, haven't they?
The past 10 days were some of the most incredible days I've ever spent with you. The traveling, the sun, the cuddles...each moment so very precious to me (probably because we haven't seen each other for two months!). I'll never forget the secret moments where I'd simply stare at you while you looked out the window on the train. I'll never forget taking in each cuddle trying to remember your smell. And I'll never forget the number of times I've counted you laugh and smile.
We've been through a lot as a newly wed couple. Probably more than most normal couples do when they get married. But those two months without seeing you was the most difficult time for me. Sleeping on that couch alone, applying for that Visa, trying to make money, and even seeing the truth of certain friendships made it the most difficult period in my life. And I know how difficult it was for you too - coming home to an empty flat, eating dinner alone, while making money for the both of us so we can just get by. But sweetheart, we're almost there.
I'm coming home soon. Just a few more things to wrap up and we'll get to put all this behind for good. So don't be sad when you arrive home without me there. Be excited that I'll be COMING HOME SOON! God's got some amazing things planned for us, so let's honor him by finishing this race strong.
I love you.
Your Crazy American Boy,
Sidney
