Disclaimer: I don't own it. I didn't know how to do Tommy's and I was really close to having Jude die, and him write her a letter…but I didn't. I hope this works. Short and Sweet.
Jude,
I found your letter yesterday, and it's taken me this long to respond. I love you too, Jude.
You had the baby the night you wrote that letter. They had me sit behind you to brace your back, and I felt like I was actually helping you, instead of those men who just stand on the sidelines whispering words of encouragement. When the baby came out, you collapsed against me, and I held you until they brought the baby over. You held her so confidently, not at all like I did.
You had bags under your eyes, your hair was pulled up messily (well, I did it, to get your hair off your neck.) and you were sweaty, but you've never been more beautiful. I love you. I love you. I love you.
Now, we're sitting back at home, and you're holding our daughter, already confident in being a mother. I don't know how you do it. Aren't you worried about screwing it up? I'm terrified. Your confidence is just one tiny thing I love about you.
To counter your list of things you hate, I've made one too.
I hate that you never put your dishes in the dishwasher
I hate that you always leave the tops of shampoo and body wash open
Mine's even shorter than yours. I love you, so much, Jude.
Tommy
