Merry Christmas Missy Dotty

You made the right decision. I want to wish you and Dan a Merry Christmas. Let me read a poem you once wrote

I want to speak of well being; of sparkling morns; when you just know everything is going to be beautiful the moment you wake up.
 
I want to speak of peace, like birds nesting in each other’s warmth; the quiet type; where two people speak mostly through their silence.
 
I want to speak of wholeness; the kind no one ever spoke or wrote about; the one that I heard sweeps ever so ponderously filling your heart with wonder and awe.
 
I want to speak of epiphany, the one that tugs ever so gently and when the truth just draws out like silk scarf through a ring; the type that makes a smile break at one corner of your mouth and spreads to unite the mind and heart.
 
I want to speak of serendipity; the kind that stretches the heart like a blanket over the soul; wrapping your core in a sense of warmth and comfort – in the calm assurance; it was always meant to be this way.
 
I want to speak of beginnings and endings; the beautiful kind; the sort that even holds out the promise of redemption; where two people may be apart, yet remain very much one of the same.
 
Do you remember Dotty, you once asked me where in the universe was the furthest distance between two points? I said, I didn’t know. As I write this now somewhere in the jungles of the Suriman, I am looking searchingly into the night sky. But the answer isn’t there Dotty – it’s much closer Dotty. In my heart, the answer that is and it is only now that I realize – it was when you once stood before me and I didn’t even see you – that’s really the furthest two points that separates everything Dotty.

Merry Christmas
