Your Christmas present was quite a surprise. I tried to finish it the first evening. But that would not have done it justice.

It being so great of an adventure in our lives, like an excellent meal – each course has to be savored.

My friends are rather envious of a relationship after these years that allows an express of such magnitude to be manifested.

To most people a friend is the highest reference they can attribute to another individual. It can not come close to what we have experienced that of having trusted our lives in each others care.

As ever,
