There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. — George Sand (letter to Linda Calamatta on March 31, 1862)
One of the best leaders of the US, the late President Ronald Wilson Reagan, was not only the "Great Communicator" to the public, he was also an old-fashioned romantic who wrote this love letter to his wife Nancy Reagan:
Aboard Air Force One
March 4 1983
Dear First Lady,
I know tradition has it that on this morning I place "Happy Anniversary" cards on your breakfast tray. But things are somewhat mixed up. I substituted a gift & delivered it a few weeks ago.
Still, this is the day, the day that marks 31 years of such happiness as comes to few men. I told you once that it was like an adolescent’s dream of what marriage should be like. That hasn’t changed.
You know I love the ranch but these last two days made it plain I only love it when you are there. Come to think of it, that’s true of every place & every time. When you aren’t there I’m no place, just lost in time & space.
I more than love you, I’m not whole without you. You are life itself to me. When you are gone I’m waiting for you to return so I can start living again.
Happy Anniversary & thank you for 31 wonderful years.
I more than love you, I’m not whole without you. You are life itself to me. When you are gone I’m waiting for you to return so I can start living again.
romantic naman nyan ha. Ang sarap magbasa ng mga ganoong lines lalo na pag araw ng puso.
korak ka Kendz. ang sarap basahin. siguro one in a mil si pres reagan. tingnan mo past 70 years old na siya when he wrote this letter to his wife nancy, pero damang dama pa rin natin ang passion niya. di ba ang ibang matatanda daw diyan, tango at iling na lang, ha-ha-ha. . . pero si pres, at that age eh very amorous pa rin.
oo nga Day, napanood ko din yong funeral ni Pres at noong niyakap ni Mrs Reagan ang coffin. kadurog puso. imagine, ang tagal ninyong magkasama sa hirap at ginhawa, at ang lambing pala talaga ni Pres. And then the realization na wala na siya. kaiyak.
