A Christmas card.

Kaylee, ai ren -- I've known you now for over five years, and been married to you for almost three of them, and it seems impossible that in all that time I've never written you a love letter. I wish I were better with words. I want to write you something eloquent and poetic; something as beautiful as you are. I want to tell you how important you are to me, and how amazingly lucky I feel to still have you in my life. I want to tell you how much I love you, and all I can think of is to write it over and over again, I love you, I love you, like the chorus of some old song. It's funny; we read the Sonnets together, I should be able to think of something right from one of them. And yet by heaven I think my love as rare / As any she belied with false compare -- they're not my words, but maybe they say what I mean. You are rarer than I think you know. And more brilliant, and more beautiful, and more brave. I know there's a difficult time coming, but we have gotten through so much worse and we will get through this together. Merry Christmas, xin gan, and love always, Simon
