Dear Val, The chances of you ever reading these words are once in a lifetime. I cannot even begin to give justice to my words because those words don't exist. Every day I pray that your name flashes on my screen,. I long to hear your voice on the other end! I know that we had something real, genuine and powerful. I know it scared you! I don't blame you for leaving the way you did. Yes, it hurt, I'm not angry with you about it. The timing was heartbreaking, the depth of pain from losing that connection with you was devastating. I spent an hour carefully picking each word I sent in response and I can't say if you got it, or if you've checked and read it since. Valerie, I am here waiting, just like in the last movie we talked about. Where they came back together after what seemed a lifetime. Everything is open and waiting for your epic return! I would hope by some rare chance you see my words! I am waiting for you and will wait as long as it takes! Come back to me!!
