No Reason April 3, 2005
Abbey,
Just a few thoughts. I'm sitting at my desk as I have a rare break and I'm thinking about you. Just wondering about you and what you're doing. I know you're at the farm. You left yesterday. Said you had to clear your mind and think. I'm sorry we got into another argument. Seems like we're having quite a few of them lately. I guess the stress of the job is getting to me. I really don't mean to bring the job home. I didn't use to. Even in the first term I tried my best to keep the job separate from our lives but now it seems to permeate everything I do. The hours seem to be longer and the time I spend with you seems to get shorter and shorter. I want to spend time with you. To talk like we used to. Not about my day or your day but about us. About insignificant things. About the girls. About things that are important to you. About what you are thinking about. When did I lose that ability?
Well, I have to close. I have another meeting to get to. But please know one thing. Please remember that I love you. That I always have and I always will. That is the one thing that will never change between us. The one thing that the Presidency, no matter how busy it forces me to become, will not change.
Please come home.
I love you so much, Jed,
