Dear Future Husband,
I could write you a disparaging note on how it sucks to be single on Valentine's Day, but this won't be that kind of letter. This Valentine's Day has been different for me in the best possible way. I feel loved by my friends and family and, for me, as silly, stupid, cheesy, fill-in-the-blank as this sounds, it really is enough and all I need right now! My friends have stepped up and shown me how much I am loved and cared for and because of that I haven't hated this day like I have in years past. Rather than focusing on what I don't have, God has shown me what I do have. That in itself is a miracle. I can't say that I haven't ranted and raved to my friends about the loneliness or wishes for you to appear in my life because they can all attest that I've done this. But for perhaps the first time in my life I haven't drowned myself in pity parties and chocolate. I haven't felt alone this Valentine's Day because I have felt and received so much encouragement from my friends. This is not only a testament to God's love and provision for me during a holiday I would ordinarily pretend didn't exist, but it is also a tremendous testament to the kinds of friends that I do have! I am beyond blessed on this Valentine's Day! And while I look forward to the day when we get to share our first Valentine's Day together, I am perfectly happy at this moment just drinking in all the little blessings in the form of friends that God has given to me! I pray that however you are spending your Valentine's Day today that you are feeling so incredibly loved and blessed and know that I am thinking and praying for you!
Forever and always faithfully yours,
Your Future Wife
