Dear husband,
? I bought this shirt for you 636 days ago, as an act of faith.
? Believing for something I’m not yet experiencing. Life with YOU!
? I pray for you as I wear it around the house.
? To be honest, I really thought I’d get to see YOU in it before now.
? I put it on recently, as a way to be close to you.
? Wearing it slips me into a daydream…
? Where I imagine wearing it around the house that you and I live in, together.
? Where I imagine you playfully rolling your eyes that I keep wearing YOUR shirts, when I’ve got a closet full of my own.
? Where I imagine how it will smell, with a hint of your cologne.
? Where I imagine how well it fits you to a T, even though I’m swimming in it!
? I put it on recently, as a way to be close to you.
? It’s not lost on me that one day it will be a dream life, in reality.
? Excited for the time when YOU are wearing it around the house that you and I live in, together.
? Excited for you to playfully roll your eyes at me for wearing YOUR shirts (and socks and sweats), when I’ve got my own.
? Excited for that moment when you’re wearing this shirt, and you spray your cologne, and I have the revelation that I’m living in the very moment I once daydreamed about.
? Excited to see your broad shoulders and strong presence filling this shirt to a T.
? I put it on recently, as a way to be close to you.
? Can’t wait until I really get to be close to you.
? In your arms.
? In our home.
? In each other’s lives.
? For real.
? Each day it’s drawing closer, I have to believe.
? I didn’t buy this shirt for you in vain.
? Faith will win, even on the hard days.
? God will show off big time with us, and I know you’ll be worth the wait.
xoxo ?
