My Dearest Sweet Wonderful Precious Guen


     Hello Darling Love. Well here it is late at night and I just 
got home from work. I just wanted to take some time and write to 
you before I went off to bed.

     Today, as I was driving in my car, I was just realising how 
much time during each day I spend thinking of you and us together. 
I mean I really think about you and us together ALL the time. And 
I thought to myself, "Gosh, maybe I should fly over there an 
propose to you right away and just do it". But then I thought that 
you might be somewhat mad at me or upset because of the things I 
had been discussing in some of my most recent letters. Well I just 
had to speak openly and honestly. Yet it really isn't the same as 
being together is it Guen? Being together is just so much better. 
From a distance we can think about things and sort of do the best 
we can to plan and dream and discuss. But nothing will ever 
replace the experience of you and I together. I think of all the 
things that we discussed with each other in our letters. And each 
and every time that I wrote to you, you would always reply to me 
in your very sweet and loving way,  "Donald I Love You, I'm 
waiting for you here in Cebu and eat your meal on time". Ever 
since I met you in our very first letters that was a quality that 
I saw right away. I really love that wonderful quality of yours 
Guen to stay on track. You never vary. You are a solid as a rock. 
And I really admire and  love that quality in you. I just hope 
that you are not upset with me about some of the things that I had 
discussed with you. They were all kind of important and we would 
have to talk about them sooner or later. So I just wanted to get 
right to the point and discuss some things. Actually I feel so 
much better just for the very fact that I have been open with you 
about things. And I have come to realise something that I always 
sort of believed anyway. And that is that real love really DOES 
handle every situation as it arises. So it really doesn't matter 
about all of the little details. There will always be some sort of 
detail to work out. And doing things together is just one of the 
things that makes love grow. The point is that we love each other 
and that is that. The other stuff we can work out as the need 
arises. I am thoroughly confident in our love and respect for each 
other. I am also quite sure that we will have a very happy life 
together because we really are quite similar in so many ways. We 
both love home and family. I guess it is normal for a prospective 
father to think first of his own future family. I think that it is 
to be expected. I guess a man just thinks of his wife and family 
first. I think that maybe that I may have sounded a bit harsh in 
some of my most recent letters when speaking on that subject. Yet 
I know that my heart is true. And my loe for you grows ever 
stronger.


     Guen Darling, whatever are your dreams for yourself, us and 
your family, feel free to tell me ok? I will understand. I know 
that there is a lot of love in your heart. And much of it comes 
from the wonderful family that you have been raised in. Your 
family means a lot to me also. I know that you would like to see 
them come to the U.S. And all that can be worked out in time, in a 
proper and balanced manner. To be quite honest Guen, I think it 
would be very nice to see your family here in the States where we 
can all be together; to share the joy of Christmas, and 
Thanksgiving, and all those other fine holidays. Being with your 
family would really be very nice. So I think it could all be 
worked out though I don't know all the details yet. 

     The first and most important thing though is that you and I 
love each other and I know  that we will be VERY happy together. 
We can live our lives in peace and raise our family. Guen darling, 
to be honest with you, I just can't think of a finer woman than 
you to be the mother of our children. With the two of us our 
children will truly be blessed with the finest parents they could 
possibly have. I truly believe that. I really want to see us 
together. I know that your family and mine, and the family that we 
bring in to the world will all have a fine and healthy, loving 
respect for each other. And all those concerns that I mentioned 
before about the possibility of in laws becoming somewhat of a 
stumbling block does not really apply in our case. It is just an 
honest feeling that I have  in my heart. Guen, with each and every 
letter that I write to you I fall in love with you more and more.
And even though there may be many others who would like to meet an 
American guy simply to come to the U.S., I truly believe that what 
is in your heart is just pure and simple love. And your love for 
me means more to me than anything. Love really does conquer all 
Guen. And it is good to discuss the things that we feel may be 
important. So please understand Guen, you are in my loving heart 
each and every minute of every day. No one can fill my heart as 
you do. Nothing can bring more joy to my heart and a sweet smile 
to my face as you do darling. You are so precious to me. You mean 
so very much to me. I long to be with you each and every day.

     As you may know I have sent a little surprise to you in the 
mail to celebrate your birthday. How I wish that we were together 
to celebrate this glorious occasion. You are now twenty years of 
age. And I am sure that you grow more beautiful with each passing 
day. I long to see you again Guen; to feel the touch of your hand 
in mine and to walk with you in the cool of the day and under the 
starlit sky. How I wish we were together even now. 

     So with this I would like to tell you some very good news. I 
have now saved up the money for my return trip. I just need to 
plan my vacation schedule through my work. I think that I will 
probably be able to come to see you sometime in May ok? As yet I 
do not know the exact time or day. That still has to be planned. 
As it will most likely be my last trip to the orient I will 
probably do some extra traveling around. Yet I would like to spend 
a good amount of time with you and your family ok? I can stay in a 
local hotel and from there we can get together and visit just like 
before ok? Maybe your father will actually allow us to be together 
to go on a date! We can see a movie or go shopping around or even 
just go for some treat in a local restaurant. It will really fill 
my heart with joy to be with you again Guen. I just can't get you 
off my mind. 

     Oh and by the way, your little birthday surprise will 
probably reach you after your official birthday. L.B.C says it 
will be on time but I think they are usually late with packages. 
When I was in the office the other day, mailing your gift, I heard 
another person mentioning how slow L.B.C. is with packages. So 
just be a little patient and you will see your surprise coming 
along soon. And please let Cheryl know that I have not forgotten 
her either ok? In the package is a little something for her also. 


     My darling sweet precious wonderful beautiful Guen, may  God 
bless you each and every day. And to your family may He bring the 
very best of blessings poured out from above.

     You are with me now and forever.

                         Your Loving Man 

                                   Donald.
