It really is amazing how much a long anticipated email or letter can effect someone. How their words can bring back images and memories of faces unseen and laughs unheard for many a month. Filling in the holes in a patchwork image of a friend or lovers distant life. They are longed for, prayed for, and hoped for. And when they finally come there is an unmeasureable warmth that spreads through a person's body that can only be matched by waiting patiently for the next.
"There is no greater wonder than the way the
face of a young woman fits in a man's mind, and
stays there, and he could never tell you why, it
just seems it was the thing he wanted."
- Robert Louis Stevenson
