A Love Letter To My Husband

The story of a King.

1993
A Love Letter To My Husband
Franklyna Gabriel-Delva

To My King,

I am writing you this letter because I love you, and because you mean everything to me. You were handpicked for me by God. You are my King and I am your Queen.

I am your most valued possession. You have shown me the love that my father always wanted for me. You care for me when I am sick, you lift my spirits when I am low. You are a provider and everything that God has prepared for me. The amount of love that I have for you cannot be expressed in mere words and so I try my best to show you how much you are appreciated every single day. You are worth more than the world to me.

When I became sick, you were there for every appointment. You were there for every shot, for every disappointing test result and for every time I cried "why me?" You were there to put food in my mouth when I didn't want to eat and you stayed up with me when I couldn't sleep. You even made sure to notice when I was struggling even when I tried to hide it because you knew how hard it was for me to admit that I needed help. You were up all night in the emergency rooms with me. You put a smile on my face when I had forgotten how to. You give me my injections because I'm too chicken to take them myself and I cannot thank you enough for the amount of love that you have shown me because even when I didn't want to admit it, you showed me that life is worth fighting for.

But I am afraid...

I am afraid that some people don't understand your worth. I am afraid that people fear your majesty and may seek to take my King away from me. I'm afraid that they don't understand how important you are to me and that you have a family who loves you.

When I think of it, my stomach turns, my spirit weakens, and my mind is a blur. I am distraught and unable to understand why they can't see what I see. After all, how do you overcome the thought of being robbed of a God given gift?

But because you are a king, you don't let it phase you. Your crown remains untarnished. You know that your kingdom is not of this world but have decided to bring a little peace of heaven to earth. You take the necessary precautions but continue to treat everyone the same no matter the color of their skin or the uniform that they wear.

You continue to spread love to everyone that you encounter and pray for peace. You know that the only way to truly achieve peace is to represent it. Your noble character is what follows you and what will be your legacy. You are thoughtful, honest, courteous, above reproach, and a person worthy of respect. You are the love of my life and royalty among men.

I am blessed every day that I am able to spend with you and call you my husband. You are a King made in the image of God himself. I am inspired when I see that the troubles of the world do not shake your belief in humanity or your faith. You wake up every morning, the same caring, funny, thoughtful person that I married. So thank you......

Thank you for being exactly who you are. Thank you for not letting anyone shake your self- esteem and thank you for being my husband.

I still have my fears, but for as long as you are mine, I have a guardian angel on Earth.

Yours Eternally,

Your Queen


P.S. In case you didn't know..... I love you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
