My Darling Sweet Precious Guen, This letter is just to let you know how much I think of you. I think of you all the time Guen; all through the day and in the evening. I think of all the letters that we have written to each other and how many times we have spoken words of Love. Darling Guen, I sincerely hope that when I have spoken with you in my letters about important things that you will understand how much I value a happy home and the loving relation between you and I. Guen darling, it is so clear to me that you are such a fine and wonderful woman. How proud I would be to have you as my loving wife. How wonderful it would be to have us raising our children together. I know that our children will be so lucky, so fortunate and so blessed to have you as their loving mother. I know that this is true. And as I think of all these things I can't help but think ahead of the factors that will keep our love strong, and also of the things that may cause little upsets from time to time. You and I together will sore to the heights of true love as love is truly meant to be. We have all the qualities going for us that only others could dream of. So when I talk with you about important things like finances and relatives it is because I understand how these things can effect a loving relationship in so many ways. i never want us to be burdened Guen. I want us to be free and happy each and every day as best as I can make it so. I truly want you to be the kind of woman that you want to be. I will not stand in your way. I will assist you in every way that I can with honour and trust so you can reach for your own personal stars. If we marry Guen I promise to you that I will do my best for you at all times. I will be true to you forever and always. I will be steadfast in my love for you in each minute and every hour of every day. And with you as my loving wife I am willing to do all the things necessary to bring harmony, light, and peace to our happy home. I pledge that I will do my best to be the fine and upstanding husband that you so long for. In thinking of our loving home together I have spend much time pondering the various things that I feel are of importance to our future. There are two things that I have always believed in. And those two things are most certainly true and lifelong love and firm inner strength. I believe in the sanctity of marriage and the love that continues to grow, over time, in the unique way that only two people in love can share. I also firmly believe in inner strength. That inner strength that comes with maturity and adulthood. And I especially believe in the importance of peaceful inner strength that must exist in every adult man and woman if they are truly to find happiness in this world. Happiness is founded upon inner strength and the knowing that it can truly exist when we choose to make it so. Inner strength is the ability to do what is right in our hearts in the face of overwhelming obstacles and even when it may contradict the counsel of others that we hold dear to our hearts. No matter who we are or where we come from we are still ourselves. And we must be true to ourselves. And in love Guen we can be true to and with each other. We can talk of the great and mighty things as well as the simple and sublime. We are two people in love and we CAN achieve whatever we set our hearts and minds to achieve. I truly believe this. Because this is one of the things that love is about. So I hope that you are not dismayed when I discuss with you subjects of importance. It is always because I have a clear vision of our future together; our happy home here in America with you and I raising a loving family. We must use our minds as well as our hearts to cut a trail that is our own loving path into the future. And in doing so our discussion of things are ever so essential. I am aware that we come from cultures that share many similarities and also some distinctions all their own. So we must choose to build upon our similarities and reconcile those distinctions in order to make our decision of marriage based on true love for each other as well as clear thinking. My darling Guen, it is your love of family, and indeed your family in Cebu now, that is one of the reasons that I am so attracted to you. It is your love of your family that I hold in the utmost respect. And it is the love I have for our own future family that I consider highly within myself, not out of boasting but out of honesty. I will truly commit to the family that we bring into this world, first and foremost above all others. Because I will love you and our children first and foremost above all others. And if that love for our family means divergence from the family in which I was raised then let it be so. You and our children come first and will be of most importance. It is our family Guen that I will give my future life to. And if any person is to challenge me on that then let them stand aside. If I am faced with a choice of providing for my young one or giving the same money to a grown adult in need, well that uncle will just have to try a little harder, because you and our children come first. That uncle will just have to be a little more creative. Nevertheless Guen I am keenly aware of your love for your family and your strong desire to assist them. And because I always want you to be the woman you truly want to be I will assist you in any way I can to achieve the things that are important to you. And that includes your desire to help your family. I just want to be assured that our love for each other and our children will come first and foremost with you as it is with me and that we are in agreements on this subject. Take your time Guen if you need to think on it a while ok. Yet let me know how you feel ok? I really want to know. I am aware that I have spoken much on this subject and that by now you may grow tired of hearing me discuss it. Yet I have felt that it is important that we know each other well on this important subject. And on that on the day that we make those wonderful vows to each other we will be both of loving heart and clear understanding. And with those two things we will be filled with true peace and happiness. Loving you Guen will be the most glorious time in my life. I am always with you. You are always with me. Your Loving Man Donald.
