Timeless Letters Example Database _____________________________________ Letters Romantic Letter Example # 1 From one new lover to another describing, "How I love thee" I feel so tired and spent. I’ve been working so hard lately. Yet thinking of you brings me back out of that state of mind the drudgery puts me in. All I have to do is imagine your face and it perks me up as much as a triple espresso and makes me so glad to be alive. Your laugh is so musical. Your mannerisms amaze and delight me. Just the way that you cross the room is a mesmerizing exercise in elegance. Your skin is so creamy and smooth. Your eyes are rich and bottomless. How can I put into words what you mean to me? I can put forth trifles like the ones you see above. But even those tender sentences are but a pittance of what my love for you truly feels like. If I was on fire and someone threw me into the Arctic Sea, that very moment when I hit the water might compare to the strength of what I feel when your name rolls off my tongue. 173 words Romantic Letter Example #2 From someone declaring their love When I was thirteen, I saw you for the first time standing on the pier securing your dear old sailboat. I remember thinking you were the dreamiest dreamboat I had ever seen. At the time you were with someone else, and I wasn’t even on your sonar. But now, almost twenty years later, I still look at you and tingle from your handsome smile. And best of all, you see me as someone to trust, to confide in, to play with and to enjoy life with. You make me so happy. I can’t begin to describe how I feel, so I’ll just offer this: Happy Valentine’s Day my love. I love you. 112 Words Romantic Letter Example # 3 From a friend declaring their love Words don’t come easily to me, which makes this letter that much more special. Ever since I met you, I can’t think of anything but you. You have brought so much happiness into my life and I wanted to express my feelings for you in this special way. Many things endear you to me; such as the way you place other people’s feelings before your own. The way you are always willing to drop everything and help a friend in need. Your marvelous sense of humor can keep me laughing for hours, and I especially love the way your eyes light up when you smile. We have been friends for a long time, but I feel it is time to take it to another level. Even though I value our friendship above all others, I am willing to risk loosing it in order to let you know how much I love you. I hope you can reciprocate my feelings, but if not, at least I will never regret not telling you how I feel. 174 Words Romantic Letter Example #4 From lover longing for lover Tonight, I sit alone vividly reliving all those pleasant moments we shared only yesterday. It’s hard to believe that we were together just hours ago, and now we are worlds apart, I in my corner of the Universe and you in yours. Way is it that the good times don’t last? It just doesn’t seem fair especially to two people such as we who are so in love with each other. Sara, even though our physical separation is a fact of life which we cannot change, we are still united in spirit because the love we share knows no bounds. It is universal poetry and with its durability, it shall continue endlessly bringing us strength, patience and hope for a bright and fulfilling future. Truthfully, Sara, the excitement of our last encounter will not easily fade from my memory, and my pulse will always quicken with anticipation at the thought of our next rendezvous. My love, until that joyous moment arrives, take good care of yourself and please keep those letter coming. They help me make it though the lonely times. For now, I want to close this letter with these few words: I love you! – I love you! – I love you! – sincerely, passionately, absolutely! 205 Words *Note: From the book Pearls of Love by Ara John Movsesian Romantic Letter Example #5 From one lover to another, about their lasting relationship. It’s confession time. I am struggling with something new, and so awesome. I struggle with this, because I know there is a risk involved when you tell someone how you truly feel, especially when those feelings run as deep and as wide as the ones I have for you. What should I say? How should I say it? I don’t know for certain how you will respond. I can only wonder if you share these same emotions. I care so much about you. What we have is like holding a small, frail, newborn creature. It needs nurturing. It needs tenderness. It demands caution. It is so precious. And so, I wonder, and I wait. I want you to know what is in my heart. Yet I remain frightened. Do these thoughts seem familiar to you? Perhaps when we are next together this Valentine’s Day, we should talk about them, carefully. Just know for now, that when I hold you in my arms, I am in the safest, most treasured place in the world. I dream the same is true for you, my dearest Valentine. 185 Words *Note: From the book How to write a love letter-Putting What’s in your heart on paper. By Barrie Dolnick Romantic Letter Example #6 From lover longing for lover Just thought I’d write you a short note to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you at Ruby Skye. I can’t recall when I had a more pleasant time. Everything felt so natural, and you were very easy to talk to. It’s hard for me to identify what it is about you that attracts me so. I suppose it might be the combination of your great sense of humor, your charming personality and your good looks. Whatever it is, I can sense its presence. Yu could call it chemistry or, better yet, the possibility that we’re on the same wavelength. Missy, I really hope that our first encounter was not our last because, I felt very special when I was with you. I truly want to give our friendship a chance to grow. Well, I guess I’ve said enough for the time being. Missy, have a wonderful week and, hopefully, I’ll see you again real soon. If you get a chance, write me and tell me your thoughts. Until I hear from you, take good care of yourself. 179 Words *Note: From the book Pearls of Love by Ara John Movsesian Romantic Letter Example # 7 From one new lover to another about, "Being in love" Imagine the world as a huge field. Then I’ve spent my life combing through it for the perfect flower. It took me a lot of time and effort, but I think I’ve finally found her. You’ve brought so much fun and inspiration into my life over the past few months. When I look into your eyes, I get goose bumps and your very touch is electric and spreads warmth through my entire body and soul. It’s as if I’ve brushed up against a creature too beautiful and perfect to exist in the same universe as I do, and I want to spend every minute in the presence of this strange and wonderful feeling so strong it’s elating and terrifying at the same time. Running across you is, quite simply, the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’m very lucky and so madly in love. 146 Words Romantic Letter Example #8 From lover declaring their passion Last night was wonderful. For the first time in my life, I feel I have truly bonded with another human being, not only physically, but also emotionally. I have never known passion before last night. Being with you made me aware of how real passion can be. Even now, writing this letter stirs a longing inside me to feel your luscious lips and to touch your soft, smooth, fragrant skin. You have awakened a hunger inside me that cannot be quenched. I will anxiously wait to be with you again. Until then, I will dream of firelight glowing in your warm brown eyes, glistening on your exquisite skin, and the fragrance of your rose perfume that drives me mad with hunger. 121 Words Romantic Letter Example #9 From one longtime lover to another, about their lasting relationship. When I reflect on all the time we’ve spent together, I can’t help but be a little amazed. I see couples around me time and time again falling apart, the lights in their eyes waning as they withdraw from each other like ballroom dancers fading into the distance, changing partners. Time kills so many relationships. But it’s not so with ours. Every day I look at you and my feelings swell a little more. I wonder each time how I can manage to contain them, but somehow it always works out. You look more beautiful every morning I wake up next to you and see your sun-drenched hair falling around your face. Best of all, I think you feel the same way. When you tell me you love me, your voice sings. When you look me in the eyes, I can see your affection there. To have these feelings for someone as wonderful as you, well, that is a great thing, but to have them back is the best gift of all. 172 Words Romantic Letter Example #10 From lover longing for lover Once again, I send you a letter with the hope that it finds you well and in good spirits. In all honesty, whenever you are gone, the emptiness of my situation becomes unbearable, and I turn to corresponding with you as a pastime, which helps dampen the loneliness of the moment. Rachel, my love for you can only be measured in exponential form, and that in itself falls short of its true magnitude. For you are the nourishment of my spirit, consequently, you are my strength. When we are together, you provide that electric potential which gives my life that spark of vitality. When we are apart such as now, I get butterflies in my stomach as if in anticipation of our reuniting – that “Opening Night” which is sure to come. Rachel, each time I gaze into your eyes; I am drawn into the furthest reaches of your mind’s inner world. There, I find a land of compassion, of understanding and of love and, by some good fortune, I also find myself as one of its inhabitants. For this, I am very grateful. Until we are together again in each others embrace, I remain your eternal love. 197 Words *Note: From the book Pearls of Love by Ara John Movsesian Letters Anniversary Letter Example #1 This example letter from anyone to married couple, on watching them grow. You’re amazing! The two of you run through life, hand in hand, ripping through obstacles like tissue paper, slogging through all the muddy puddles of life with resounding laughter so you can get right down to the good stuff. Watching you grow together and being a part of your lives is a priceless gift. I hope you celebrate it well this year! Who would have guessed that the economy would take a nose dive shortly thereafter, leaving you in a job market with many more competitors. It has been a tough year for you and your family, but it looks like now things are starting to turn around for you. As you know, I have been down the same road in dealing with a new high level job, so let me know if there is any advice I can give you to help ease you into this new position. 149 Words Anniversary Letter Example #2 This example letter from Spouse on, saying not to doubt their love. This February we will celebrate our fifth anniversary. We were just talking about it the other day and then, when we moved on to the subject of how these years have been, I sensed some trepidation from you. It was as if you had doubts or fears about the strength or gravity of my love for you. Let me reach out now and slash those doubts to ribbons. I love you more than life itself. I do, and always will remain true to you. Your kisses are like tiny stars and your love like the sun. Life is a constant joy when you’re near and a torturous gauntlet when you’re away, though thoughts of you keep the mundane mire of daily life at bay. During these past years you’ve inspired me, taught me, uplifted me, broken and remade me. You came into my life like a burning object from the firmament, too bright to seemingly exist in reality. I love you dearly and hope that I’ll wake up to your sweet face year after year until the day I leave this Earth. 182 Words Anniversary Letter Example # 3 This example letter from Husband to Wife, about opening up. I love you with all my heart, not just because today is our anniversary. No matter how tough this relationship gets or how hard it may seem to move forward, I will never stop loving you. You are my world and soul, the air that I breathe each day. Sometimes I get angry with myself because I bring the relationship down more than I help it. Opening up to you is difficult but this is something I have to do. You are my best friend and no matter how difficult it may seem or how tough it may be to go on, I know I will, because I will have the best person in the whole world right by my side every step of the way. You are my soul, my world, my everything. My heart skips a beat every time your name is mentioned or I see your face. You are the one I have been waiting for all of my life (not that I’m old!), and I finally stumbled across you. Now I must fight to keep you. Without you I wouldn’t be complete. All I can give you is love. I love you! 196 Words Anniversary Letter Example # 4 This example letter from Husband to wife on, creating a wonderful family together. Can you believe it? Here we are already celebrating our twentieth Wedding Anniversary! It seems like just yesterday we were newlyweds enjoying our Honeymoon on the beaches of Maui. Time has gone by so fast it hardly seems possible. The past () years with you have been so wonderful. Our love for each other has created a wonderful family. Our children Kati and Justin are so precious and you are the perfect Mother to them. Together we have helped them grow into the wonderful people they have become. It’s scary to think Justin will be off to college next year and that Kati is in High School already but I know that they will continue to make the right choices in their life and make us proud of them. I think we can be proud of what we have accomplished in these twenty wonderful years of marriage together. I know that we had our share of rough times but we always made it through them and I think it made our love for each other even stronger in the end. I love you with all my heart and sole and look forward spending the rest of our lives together and that they are as happy and joyous and healthy as these first twenty have been! 215 Words Anniversary Letter Example # 5 This example letter from Wife to Husband stating, “I’m glad I choose you”. With perfect clarity I remember the look in your eyes when you got down on your knees and proposed to me. I remember your eyes filled with all the love and longing of your tender years. You’ve filled my life with warmth and beauty. I can’t believe how many years we have been married. With you time has flown by so easily. I’m still as in love with you as the first day we met. After all this time together, you’ve fulfilled every promise you made and more. My gratitude is bottomless. How can I express such deep feelings in words? I love you so much and I’m so glad I chose you as my life partner! 117 Words Anniversary Letter Example #6 This example letter from anyone to married couple, on being a beautiful match. An anniversary is a celebration of loving intimacy, a triumph of the human spirit over the deep, cold realms of solitude. Your love is a powerful beacon in the wastelands of the human soul. You’re an island of love in a sea of cynicism and loss. As your love brings joy to the two of you, so does it empower everyone around you. It makes me so happy to congratulate such a special couple on ten amazing years! It’s so rare and beautiful to see two people fit together like you. A couple that fills every room they walk into with cheer. Congratulations on this very special day, your Anniversary, and I wish you many more decades of light and happiness! 121 Words Anniversary Letter Example # 7 This example letter from one longtime lover to another stating that, "My place is by your side". Ten years ago, I couldn’t imagine where I would be now. I had no idea. We’ve been through so much. We’ve built a powerful life together. Our love has been strong and our partnership has been meaningful and life altering. The passion has never withered but remains constant. Our love is like a fine wine. Every year we are together it has more substance and meaning. Just as I knew, when I first married you, that you were the one for me, I know it now more than ever. I love you, today, tomorrow and all the days after that! Through the years we’ve been together, we’ve seen many marriages fade and crumble. I wonder what I could have done to deserve such a beautiful person to live such a perfect life with, and all the time you make it clear you feel the same way. Thank you so much for your love and companionship! Now I have no doubt where I am or where I’ll be in ten years. I know, without a doubt, that my place is by your side. And, yet, my future is still full of possibility, all the possibilities of joy and happiness that our love will continue to bring. 205 Words Anniversary Letter Example #8 This example letter from a family member to a married couple, on a great match. You weren’t at our wedding. You weren’t even born yet! But we made it to yours, and it was just as special to us as our own. I can hardly believe the years that have gone by since that beautiful day you got married to each other. It was a good match then, and, as the years have proven, it’s a good match now. It’s been so great to see the two of you changing and growing together at different family gatherings. It takes a lot of work and devotion to keep even the best match together and you’ve done so well by it. Over the years, it’s warmed our hearts to spend our holidays with the two of you and watch you grow ever closer, as we have, over the years. Through all the good times and the bad times, through this and many more anniversaries, may you fill each other’s days with smiles and intimacies. 157 Words Anniversary Letter Example # 9 This example letter from Husband to wife For years I have lived in the warmth of your love. Tonight we are having a party to celebrate our thirtieth wedding anniversary. I wanted to write you this love letter, one to add to that old, ribboned stack from the first years of our relationship together. I know you have kept all those letters that I wrote to you in the past as I have kept yours to me. No one can compare to you. No one can replace you in my heart. Every morning when I wake up, I still look to make sure you are there, and I am always grateful. Tonight we will have many witnesses to the union of our hearts, which age has not withered, nor the passing of time cooled towards each other. There will be family rituals and speeches. But nothing is more important than what I have to say to you: I love you. I wish sometimes that I could marry you once a year, just to have that moment of solemnity, that breathless, frightening, holy feeling of total commitment to another person. Since I can’t do that, I rededicate myself to you today, now and forever. Take these simple flowers, the same violets I always give you on our anniversary. Know that I picked them for you. If there ever comes an anniversary when I do not offer you such a gift then I shall no longer be on this earth 241 Words Anniversary Letter Example # 10 This example letter from Husband to wife I can’t believe that our Anniversary is almost upon us again. Time sure flies when one is as happy and content with one’s situation as I am. Dearest you have made my life a joy to live, and your love is ever so sweet. You are the ultimate life partner, and I am truly fortunate to have you as my very own. I sincerely hope you share my sentiments because I want you to be as happy as me. To this end, I will work as hard as I can, for you are worthy of the best life has to offer. On this special Anniversary, I look forward to our future with optimism, for a love such as ours, based on mutual respect, trust and forgiveness can never falter. 129 Words Letters Wedding Letter Example # 1 This example letter from father to Groom on wedding day. As you've grown up, I can't exactly say we've always shared the same tastes. Though I love you a great deal and we have wonderful conversations, we haven't always seen eye to eye when it comes to style and culture. Or people, in general. Until the day you brought home your fiancée, that is. She's a truly wonderful girl. I think having her around will really class the family up. You're up for a whole load of surprises. Some of them truly pleasant and amazing, and others trying and challenging. But I know you'll meet them all and grow, because you're my son and I know what kind of stuff you're made of. Congratulations! 114 Words Wedding Letter Example # 2 This example letter from Groom to Bride on wedding day. I've gone through life with others and alone. I've had crowded and empty periods. Now that I've found you, we'll always walk together. You totally and completely swept me off my feet, so fast that I'm still a little dizzy. I was taken aback when you asked to marry me, and that was followed by a delight so strong. I'd never felt anything quite like it. I can't wait to start a new life with you. I love you. 79 Words Wedding Letter Example #3 This example letter from Mother of the Bride to bride on wedding day. Raising you has been the most wonderful thing I ever did in my life. When you became an adult, I thought I would have less involvement with you, and I was sad about that. But, to my delight, I was mistaken. Even recently, with your fiancée in your life, you and I have found a great deal of time together. And planning your wedding, despite the hard work and stress, has been a great deal of fun for me. Spending that time with you, sharing all that laughter, has given me so many fine memories, I'm almost sad to see that it's over. But now that you're starting a family, I'm sure there will be many more fine events to plan and many special occasions for us to get together. I love you so much. Congratulations! 136 Words Wedding Letter Example #4 This example letter from bride to friend for being a great Maid of Honor. If you didn't have a clue as to what you where getting into when you agreed to be my maid of honor, you never showed it. Your strength and support throughout this time has brought me just that much closer to you. You helped me in so may ways. Remember when Jackie's dress was delivered in the wrong color? You calmly made quick arrangements to get it replaced with the right one. You were always smiling and your mood was passed along to the guests as they went through the receiving line. You were the best maid of honor a bride could ever have asked for. Thank you for all that you've done and for being my BFF. 118 Words Wedding Letter Example #5 This example letter from the Groom to his best man. If anyone asks me how you did as best man, I will let them know what a wonderful job you did for me. The bachelor party you threw for me was unforgettable. I'll never forget the way you handled all the groomsmen when they weren't quite sure how to handle themselves. You were very organized and revealed that you could be counted on in a crunch. Lastly, but not least, I will always remember the words of advise and assurance you gave me in the hours before my wedding. You truly are a great friend and a wonderful Best Man! 100 Words Wedding Letter Example #6 This example letter from the Mother of the bride to the Newlyweds. So our daughter is getting married and we're getting a new son! Just like that! I have to admit it took me a little by surprise. I had to stop and think about it at first before I remembered the glow in your eyes when the two of you look at each other. True, it hasn't even been a year, but time doesn't mean much when you're truly in love. And, after all, your father and I only waited three months, Jessie! I am profoundly moved that I am going to be able to share in such a beautiful union. I've never seen two people before who I thought belonged together as much as you two! And, Mark, seeing how happy you make my daughter is one of the greatest gifts a new son could ever give me. Even your father was overjoyed when he heard the news. (although he might pretend to be gruff and grumble about silly things like the price of the upcoming wedding). Remember, marriage is the supreme union between two people and you're about to embark on a very special journey. It may seem a little daunting or overwhelming at times but, in the end, it is worth it all. I love you and wish all the best to my lovely daughter and my wonderful new son 222 Words Wedding Letter Example #7 This example letter from a family member to the newlyweds. Remember through your life together that perfect love requires a validity of each other. Join as equals and live life with joy and vitality as a happy unit! We’re very happy to be able to celebrate your marriage and welcome a beautiful person into our loving family. 47 Words Wedding Letter Example #8 This example letter from anyone to the newlyweds. Finding your perfect match is like searching a snow-covered hill for just the right snowflake. But, as futile as it may seem, people still manage it. Just like many other things in life, a good marriage is a miracle. I’m so happy to see you’ve found that miracle in each other’s arms. Congratulations. Have a wonderful wedding and a beautiful life together. 62 Words Wedding Letter Example #9 This example letter from anyone to the newlyweds on their wedding day. To look someone deep in the eyes and know without a doubt, you want to spend the rest of your life with someone is a powerful feeling. It’s brought you to a point of immense change. It will carry you through all the winters of your life and back into summer again in the arms of the one you’ve committed to. Best wishes and luck to the both of you on this most special of days! 76 Words Wedding Letter Example #10 This example letter from a man or woman proposing marriage. I've never really been looking for that “special someone” to “complete me”. To be honest, I never thought, for many years, that such a person existed. Then you came into my life and changed all that. I can't understand how just being around you, without even talking, can make my day 100 times better. I just can't see the rest of my life without it, and I'm hoping you feel the same way. I love you so much. 78 Words Wedding Letter Example #11 This example letter from a woman to a man as a proposal of marriage. Ever since you entered my life, it's been full of laughter and vitality. I can't imagine what things were like before you came along anymore. No one else knows me the way you do, and no one else has ever been able to make me feel quite like you do. Not even close. As I look on these past couple of years, I think about how happy I am and I can't help but think about the future of my life. I can't help but think I want you in it, always. I would like to ask you to be my husband and continue to share everything with me. I know I can be an amazing wife for you, almost as good a wife as you'll be a husband. Would you marry me? 133 Words Letters Birthday Letter Example #1 This example letter from female friend on a friend's 50th birthday. Remember thinking at 25 how really old people were at the age of 50? Well here you are at this milestone birthday and I look at you as a picture of perfect health and a person that has aged gracefully throughout the years. The saying “You’re not getting older, you’re getting better”, can’t be any truer when thinking of you. You have been a source of inspiration for me, not only in my career endeavors, but in my personal life as well. The continual competitiveness we shared with one another, kept us both on our toes striving to become the very best we could be. Remember when you said “I can write circles around you”, the day we signed up for the writing essay contest in our English journalism class? I set out to prove you wrong which put me in second place in front of you. It wasn’t until years later in casual conversation that you revealed your true motive in that statement. You always knew I could write better than you, but was aware of my tendency for laziness, and therefore placed the necessary spark under my feet. That contest was the pivotal point in my life that was to make me the good journalist I am today. I am so glad we have stayed such good friends all these years. You are a wonderful person and I look forward to sharing with you, the next 50 years of your life. 243 Words Birthday Letter Example # 2 This example letter from a friend to a person on their 30th birthday. So this year you’re turning 30. It’s surprising to me for two reasons. You seem to embody someone so much younger and so much older than that age at the same time. In you, I see the youthful exuberance and energy of an 18 year old, and the taste and wisdom of a 50 year old. You are so much all at once and the world itself was given a great gift the day you were born. It’s been a great privilege and an honor to be your good friend for half of those years. Every time I’m around you, I learn something new or gain a new perspective on something I previously thought I knew about. Jonathan Swift said, “Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.” I believe you’re truly a master of this art, and you’ve brought the fruits of that into my life, as well. For that, I’m truly grateful. But that’s not all that makes a friend. Over the years you’ve shown great kindness to me. Anytime I found I truly needed someone, you were there. Anytime I didn’t, you were also there. You’ve always been unselfish and helpful, and seem to have a genuine interest in helping others. I’m truly lucky to have you as a friend and I hope you stick around on this earth for at least another 30 years. 228 Words Birthday Letter Example # 3 This example letter from a son to his father on his 50th birthday. So it looks like you made it another ten years, old man! I can’t believe you’re already fifty. You’ve got to cut this out. I’m going to wake up tomorrow and have to write you a congratulations letter for your 60th at the rate this is going. Are you sure you’re fifty? It just seems so fast. You don’t act fifty, except when you grumble and complain all the time, you grouchy old bastard. Okay. Jokes aside. Fifty years is a pretty important birthday! You’ve been around for a half a century now! You traveled to California to escape the dust bowl during the Great Depression. What? Oh. That’s a little older than fifty isn’t it. Well then, there was that whole Vietnam thing. Yeah I guess you were just a kid for most of that but what the hell. I guess the point is that you’re fifty now and I love you as much as I always have. It’s great to be around you, even though you progressively get more crazy and crotchety every year. I hope this turns out to be a great year for you! If anyone deserves it, it’s you Dad. 195 Words Birthday Letter Example # 4 This example letter from anyone to person on their twentieth birthday. When I turned fifty – not that long ago; okay, a while ago – I was preoccupied with what I hadn’t accomplished. How silly I feel now. Everything was still so possible. My life, I now see, had all kinds of potential. In fact, as you know, I built my entire company after I turned fifty-five. (But enough about me.) I realize you’re just a kid in the total scope of things. I’ve always admired your shoot-for-the-moon attitude and abilities. You’ve got the real stuff, Ruth, and I’m sure you’re gong to launch one of those stellar efforts I’ve seen you mastermind and execute so proficiently, and so often. Like getting up in college in front of five hundred people, without a minute of preparation or practice, and delivering the winning temperance speech! You are truly phenomenal! Next year at this time, I’ll be back here again, saluting what you’ve done since your new year began. Of that I’m very sure. Happy Birthday dear friend. All the very best! 167 Words Birthday Letter Example # 5 This example letter from a mother to her daughter on her 25th birthday. Today is a very special day for you and for me. It’s the 25th anniversary of the best day of my life, the day that I brought you into this world. Ever since the first time I held you, I’ve never beheld such beauty, nor have I ever been so proud of anything as of you. You’ve led a very successful life so far. You’ve achieved everything I could have ever hoped you would and more! I’m so proud to have you as a daughter and I know you’ve got many more surprises in you as the years go on. 100 Words Birthday Letter Example # 6 This example letter from a father to his daughter on her birthday. When you were younger, I knew you would grow up to be strong, smart, and capable. You’ve done that and much more, and so fast! It’s hard for me to believe you’re almost an adult now. Helping to raise you has been one of the most interesting and amazing challenges of my life. I know that you’ll continue to rise to every challenge in your life with the same power and gusto! Even so, you’ll always be my little girl. 80 Words Birthday Letter Example #7 This example letter from anyone to person on their 80th birthday. As you sit, surrounded by all your children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren pondering the past and wondering about the future, it must be hard not to feel an immense sense of accomplishment. As the joy and the experiences of decades gone by fly past in your memory I hope you understand the huge impact you’ve had on the world and on all of us! Happy 80th Birthday.

Each one had a story; like the one were you are holding Jessie after giving birth to him in the hospital, was that really 12 years ago? There was also the photo of you and Chelsea at her softball game, and one with you and me watching the kids open their Christmas presents back when Jessie was just 6 and Chelsea 3. I think your sister Sarah took that picture. Other photos depict you as always on the go, going to work, doing things for the kids, for me.

Being with you is a dance to the music of time you are the garden of my heart love ever gives I clutched your letter under the pillow, as if it were your hand in mine. I wait for the mail every day I want to cover every inch of you like ink on paper. I was thinking about you and how lucky I am to have you in my life, and before I knew it I was writing a letter and sending it to you. I want to pleasure you with words the way you pleasure me with pleasure. I carry your written kisses in my briefcase. They escape at all the wrong moments--in meetings, in the elevator, in the supermarket, and my hands carry them to my lips. I kiss them, I kiss them. (Has a love letter ever been kissed to dust before?) I'm luxuriating in your letter like an expertly stroked cat. I will write to you the way I talk to you, without tricks or treats. Be careful when you unseal the envelope - a million kisses will come flying out to wrap themselves around you. This letter is my way of making sure you're thinking of me as often as I'm thinking of you, and so you know I love you at a quarter to midnight on a Monday night. Write me anything, even a single line, but tell me that you love me. I have just unlocked my little box and found your letter and the world has drifted off a thousand miles and let me alone with you again. I need to write you this letter because, saying “I love you” is simply not enough when I am so overcome by emotion. re-read your letter so happy to get your letter My heart dropped as gently as a fallen leaf into your letter. I am writing this letter because I had a great date. I am writing this letter because I want to see you again. I am writing this letter because I want to take the next step. I am writing this letter because I want to say “I love you” in no uncertain terms. I am writing this letter because I want to mark an occasion. I clutched your letter under the pillow, as if it were your hand in mine. I wait for the mail every day The bed felt terrible and empty and big last night. Your face is never out of my mind. without you, I am as lonely as a single earring, as a widowed swan, as the number 1. I am so wrapped in thoughts of you that your absence at this moment is a mere technicality. I watch the stars rise here, and know the same stars watch you. There are not enough way to say I miss you. miss you so much I can't wait to hold you in my arms You are still my favorite person, despite the pile of trash that always seems to be at my feet when I ride shotgun Greetings & Closings Romantic Greetings Beloved, My cherished wife, My sweetheart, Cupcake, My darling husband, My wonderful husband, Dear _______, My darling, My wonderful lover, Dear
