'Though we are apart, I pray to be ever-near in your heart by my letters.
Just as you bore your heart to me, I will do the same.
...
When first I saw you, it was a sound of joy and melodies from heaven.
You were a shooting star.
A gift from God.
Sincerely, the very gift I prayed to receive hours before seeing you.
My life was spent searching for treasures and marveling at the many wonders of God's world, but there was an emptiness that grew louder and louder.
I could no longer ignore it.
My life was missing something.'
