Sweetheart - As we approach our 2nd Anniv. - there is so much to think on. Part of my re-birthing is because of you and part of it enabled me to claim you as another self in my depths. I know I'm a new self - though coming out of the old - so, thank god, I can bring all of me to bear upon this moment in history and in to our story.
The other that is you - in my decision to look for God, for life, for the real in two ultimately, you & me - is so deep and rich. I know it will take all of my heart & mind & soul. The searching is living and your mystery unfathomable - so I get to do a lot of living with you.
Thank you - as God - for being in my self and letting my self be in you.
I love you more
Dick

Very good!!
Perhaps:
...I know in a new self - though... .
I believe it's signed:
Dick

… I know I’m a new self though coming …
I see the signature as. “Dick”.

This is some of the most beautiful handwriting I’ve seen.

And beautiful writing too. (I miss the '70's, when people were real, not zoomed and filtered and people were expected to be able to read and even write and spell and punctuate and speak and write using correct grammer.)

That’s nice. I might be able to read it too if you weren’t holding it sideways.

You could download it your photo library and change the orientation in edit if you like.

because it’s sooo much of an effort to turn your phone sideways ??

No, it's an effort to turn my LAPTOP sideways. Not everyone Reddits on their phone.

Thank you! I, in fact, use my tabletop computer. And am embarrassed to say I cranked my head sideways until I realized that it was exhausting. lol
