Always and forever, I will love you. You weren’t a fling for me; you changed my life. You’re engagement rocked my world, and I will never be the same.

I remember sitting in the living room with my parents. We told them together: "No, we aren't kidding. We aren't dating for fun. We are serious. This will last."

And even though it hasn't lasted as we thought it would, it will definitely last through the ages. We have declared it so by making a new life together.

Our love will be infinite because of him.
I will always love you - it is a commitment that will never die.

The first book is available for purchase on the eBook platform. 

You can buy it for your Kindle on Amazon. 

You can also buy it for your Apple product from the iBookstore.

I can't begin to tell you how exciting this journey has been; and I think that I am only getting a glimpse now of how wonderful this path will be in the future. This book has definitely been a labor of love - there have been so many close friends who have contributed their time and effort, their talents and skills to make this book and the entire Love Letters project what it is...

something that is simply awesome! 

I've got a section in the beginning of the book called "Saying Thanks" 

and I go into detail regarding the extent of my feelings of gratitude.

The first book in the series is available for only $.99 on the eBook platform. 

A print version of the book is in the works and we will post an update soon.

Because love is a choice, you can decide whether you’re in or out…and when. This thought really spoke to me because of my own experience; not to mention I had just finished watching Crazy, Stupid, Love and was thinking about my marriage and its untimely end.

---

On the surface, I agree wholeheartedly with this statement: "I won't give up."
But, as was in my case, after I've worked through the mess time and time again, if I don't see any effort on your side (if I don't feel like your willing to work through the mess with me), I'm out.

And, yea; you can call it giving up. I sometimes feel like it was....giving up on you; on us. But then, I am reminded that you gave up first, and I am slightly mollified. But don't think that makes me feel any better. I chose you and meant it to last for the rest of our lives. So, I am still sad that it didn't.

But I am not sad that I drew a line with you. You gave up first...on me; on us. And you chose not to get back into the mess to clean things up. And I couldn't change your mind. So, the path as it unfolded was a choice that inspired many other choices.

Ultimately, love is a choice. And both people need to be "in it" for it to last through the ages.

Thanks to lovequotesrus for posting this thought.
