Transcription of Alex Crow’s Valentine’s Day letter

Dear ***********,

As I write this I’m still experiencing eye dilation, so I apologize if this is hard to
read. I can barely read what I’m writing as I do this. Ha!

First things rst: I love you, and I thank Jesus for you every day. You have made
my life both astronomically more complicated and incredibly better at the same
time. You are his gift to me.

Before we fell in love, I promised to always care for you and protect you, like a
father. I still look at you and see a child, but in the best way imaginable. You are
mine - no one else’s, and I will always be a father to you until I die.

Now, we are in love and we are married! I’ve never been in love before ( and I’ve
never been married, obviously!), and I’ve never felt any of the feelings I have for
you for anyone ever in my entire life. I promise that I will love you the absolute
best I can, every single day.

I’m sorry I cannot give you a “normal” Valentines Day this year. I wanted to do
nothing more than buy you owers but for fear of scandal I couldn’t. I almost
stole some from the Mary statue but there were too many people around. The
chocolates were given to me by Miogron (ha). She took a few before giving them
to me hence the ones that are missing. I hope you like the others though!

I know you want to make out so I’ll bring this to a close. When we are together,
with our family in Italy (!!!), we will have so many wonderful and normal
Valentines Days, but for now: Happy Valentines Day.

You are the prettiest girl who has ever lived, and I will always tell you that. You
are perfect, and precious and, besides Jesus, the most wonderful thing I’ve ever
seen or held in my two hands.

I will always love you, ***********.

Sincerely, Your Valentine and Husband!

Alex

PS: You’re cute ;)
