The hardest part about Nick being away was probably how lonely I felt at home in our empty house. I tried to have friends over or go out, but at night when I had to be there by myself, I hated it. I think it's because I watch too many crime shows & I think everytime I hear a noise, it's someone coming to murder me or kidnap me. Nick tells me all the time to stop watching them, but I'm addicted.

I got a letter from Nick while he was in North Carolina, about a week after he left. It wasn't a long one, but it was so sweet, I was a blubbering mess when I finished reading it.

Dear Demi,

I miss you more than I can even express in a letter, but I will do my best to make you understand. My heart doesn't beat the same way, when I'm away from you. My eyes don't see, the same way, when you're not in front of me. My ears don't hear, the same way, when you're not speaking. My life makes no sense when you're not standing next to me.

Now that you're carrying our son, my body & soul miss you more than I can even explain or comprehend. I can't wait until I can hold Evan in my arms & tell him all the stories about you. It will take many years to tell them all to him, but I won't mind reliving those memories at all.

I'll tell him about that time we went on a class field trip in sixth grade to a camp for a week. That was when you pushed me in the lake & I pretended to be drowning & you freaked out & jumped in to save me. Then you didn't talk to me for the rest of the week. That was a hard week when I was 12. I thought I'd lost you as my friend & I learned my lesson back then. I would never let you think I was in trouble, unless I really was.

I'll also tell him about the time in high school, when we did the talent show

I'll also tell him about the time in high school, when we did the talent show. You lip synced Britney Spears while I played air guitar & we didn't care that everyone was laughing at us. We had a blast & that sums up our relationship nicely. We have always marched to the beat of the same drummer & I have loved every minute of it.

Please take care of yourself & our son. I will see you very soon. I love you so much it's ridiculous & miss you so much it's agony.

Love,

Hugs & kisses,

Your husband, Nick
