It was not too long ago when, upon moving back from Hong Kong, you had to go away for a week. Tonight, on the eve of our special day, you are taking off once again.

Just as I am sitting here beneath the night sky wondering what to type, large drops of rain begin to fall. I smile at the thought that they must be kisses you are sending from 20,000ft above as your airplane soars across the sky.

Happy ninth, love.
