John,

I don’t think I tell you enough how thankful I am for you and all you’ve done for me. I don’t think you realize just how much you mean to me and I truly can’t see myself doing life without you. These next couple years will be a test for the both of us but I know our love will prevail. The thought of distance scares the living hell out of me and that’s all I’ve been thinking about since the day I found out I got into Midwestern University. Thank you for being excited for me and for reassuring me that we will overcome the distance. I’m already looking forward to the days I get to be with you again. You have done so much for me and have introduced me to so many new things that I didn’t think I’d ever do on my own. You’ve taught me so much from how to score golf, how to defend myself, how to learn a song in 16 minutes, how to save on gas when driving, how to make a chopstick holder, and much more. Most importantly, you taught me how to love. I’ve only experienced one sided relationships, heart brokenness, and lack of trust. You taught me how to find confidence in myself and you taught me how to be a better lover. It wasn’t until you that I had to learn to stop holding things in and to communicate more. I had to learn how to be patient, forgiving, strong, trusting, and vulnerable with you. We have our fair share of disagreements and sometimes it scares me that we might not have tomorrow together after some of them but there’s just something in us that pushes through and makes it work. Like I said, there is no one else I’d rather be with than you. People can call me crazy but at this point in my life I can’t help but think about you during such big changes in my life because I see you in my future. The decisions I make in life involve you. You’ve become such a big part of my life and your existence is such a blessing. I still look at you and get butterflies in my stomach, I still look at you and fall more in love with you. I’m always looking forward to when I get to see you again and smother you in hugs and kisses. I hope you know just how important you are in my life and how much you mean to me. I hope you know the impact you’ve made in my life as well. I pray for you and I pray for strength and health. I’m so excited for your own future for yourself and I hope you continue to dream big and reach for the stars. You deserve all the greatness life has to offer. Your strength is admirable and I am confident you can get through anything. I am so proud of you and I am always rooting for you. Never forget your worth and never forget to trust in the Lord and His promise for you. I hope you always feel loved every single day and I hope you always keep fighting through the darkness. You are an amazing human being and I am so lucky and blessed to be doing life with you John Roiz. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you! 

I love you

Char
