Write You A Letter - Ray LaMontagne

...Then maybe you could understand me a little better
If I was to write you a letter...

From My Father to My Mother 2-7-1987 (the year before I was born!!)
This is the English Translation:

My Beloved Wife:…Guille,
   There are many occasions that God has given us to Thank Him for us meeting each other… the joy of us meeting.  And today, because it is is such a special day in your life, I want to take advantage of the occasion and thank God for all of the joyous moments that he has given to us to share together. Today, our children and myself wish you all of the happiness that you deserve. Thank you for the great love and patience that you have given to me and to our children. I pray that God will bless us with your presence for a very long lifetime and that together we will grow in love with the presence of God in our lives…
I Love You.
Your Husband.
Mario

Dear E,
I can’t make you love me.
If you don’t know by now, you never will.
My heart aches for you. My mind begs it to stop.
It’s been too long.
I don’t want to pretend anymore.

I’m giving up on you because by holding on I’m only giving up on myself.

Mark,

Please don’t go. I don’t want you to go. I wish I could stop you. I know once you leave things will never be the same. I don’t want to lose you.

I Love You.

From My Father to My Mother 1975

The front of this post card said “I MITH YOU!!”
haha. yes. It said MITH. A cheesy way of saying I Miss You.

Spanish to English Translation:

Guille:
I Hope that all of you find yourself in great company as I have, Thanks to God. I am writing these few lines to send greetings to everyone and well because you know this card is true.
Goodbye My Love. Say hello to everyone once more! Soon we will see one another!
The One That Thinks of You,

To You,

I am not the only one that wants to be with you.
   I am the one that wants to share everything with you.

I am not the only one that loves your smile.
   I am the one that knows each of your smiles by heart.

I am not the only one that is mesmerized by your laughter.
   I am the one that knows to hold you in silence as you shed your tears.

I can not be at your side everyday or night.
  But I whisper your name after a “good morning” and “goodnight” everyday regardless.

I am not the only one that knows what a wonderful man you are.
  But I am the one that has watched you grow and wants to be at your side as you become the man you are meant to be.

I can not change what happened in the past.
   I can only promise you a future filled with love.

               I am sometimes selfish.
                        I am often impatient.
                              I am also imperfect.

But…
  For You….
            I Am waiting….

A sweet little marriage proposal : )

We all know that feeling…Writing letter after letter…searching for the perfect words…

Dear Baby,

     If I could take it back I would. Saying I’m sorry will never change what I’ve done. I really am sorry, but apologizing makes me feel disgusting inside. “I’m sorry” will never be enough. I lose sleep every night thinking about you. I wish that I could hold you. I wish that I could hold your tiny hand in mine. I wish that I could see your face and make memories with you, but I can’t. It will never happen.

   Somewhere along the path of my life I developed this mentality that I needed to be different. I believed that my success was measured by my performance in the classroom or workplace. I was out to please others. I was always cautious not to let anyone down. I felt that the only way I could ever make something more of myself was by never making any mistakes.   …I didn’t realize that you were a blessing and not a mistake until it was too late. You could have been my greatest accomplishemnt. You could have been the greatest motivation I’d ever need, instead I took care of you without thinking things through.

I know that no one should spend their life dealing with regret. I know that everything happens for a reason. I know that things happen and we’re stronger because of them. But really all I want to know is what it would have felt like to hold you. I wish I had known how much I would hurt once it was all over.

I know people do this all the time, and I believe everyone has a choice, but you… my tiny little baby… you were a blessing and I just hope that in heaven you understand what I did and when we meet there I can hold you.

Thinking about what might have been is just as painful as dealing with what is.

I need to get through this. I will get through this.

Forgive me.  I Love You.

Love,
Alice
