      preface

      dear reader,

      Imagine cleaning your home or storage or attic and you come across a box of unopened letters. You read them, only to find out that your significant other has been writing to you about his or her feelings towards random or significant events in your lives since the two of you met.

      This collection of letters is what the family of my dreams would come across someday. I hope you enjoy reading them.

      best wishes,

      Enjoying the preview?
