Day 10: Write a little letter to yourself about what you hope for your relationship in the next few weeks.

Dear Cat,

I hope your relationship with Richard keeps growing day by day. I hope you keep learning new things about him and from him. I hope you keep laughing – even at his horrible puns. I hope your love for him keeps growing. Not long until he comes to visit. T-minus 64 days!!! 

Love,

Cat

Dear Richard, 

As we’re nearly in September I don’t have any particularly dramatic hopes. However, I hope Cat and I stay as strong as we have been and can spend some time planning what we’ll get up to when I come to visit. By the time I visit, it will be 8 months since Cat left to head back to the States, but I know from the moment I get there until the moment I head back, it will be as if we have never been apart.

– Richard
