Note from mom’s collection

---

I don’t want our love to ruin our friendship.

My love for you.

D.D.

I don’t want to take anything from you. You don’t have to give me anything. I know you give of yourself all the time. I know you get tired & lonely. I understand and I want to give to you. I want to make you happy, give you what you need.

I want to be your friend. I want to understand. I want to be a place to come to that make you feel warm, wanted, comfortable. Please let me.

I want to give you what you need. If that is understanding, I will give that, space, time, silence.

I believe in you. You don’t have to prove anything to me.

I hope that you will know love and that your life will always be filled with joy, laughter, music, sea breezes, moonlit oceans, sunlit forests, crystal clear lakes, quiet, still kaes & beautiful memories and love.

Maybe someday you’ll let down your guard & trust me…

Maybe you’ll trust yourself. You won’t be afraid.

You see, I’ve never been so sure of something in my life. Of how I feel for you. Of what we are capable of.
