We did so much yesterday, it was amazing. Arlington National Cemetary was incredible... So many graves, too many graves... Just a sea of white, as far as the eye could see... It was sobering. We did a night tour of the different monuments in Washington, it was incredible... There are so many! The WWII memorial was absolutely breathtaking, with the fountain in the middle and... And we saw the Lincoln memorial, which was amazing, and it was just so... Big! The steps the statue, and the view... My God, the view! We also saw the Vietnam memorial, which I can best describe as Arlington in compact form... 58,000 casualties, all together... I actually had to sit down, it just hit me so hard. The Korean War memorial was amazing, you just have to be there to get the effect... Finally the FDR memorial. It was very cool, but the best part was walking along the waterm with an amazing view of the obelisk and the Jefferson memorial reflecting in the water... Dave was walking with Brianne and Ashley, and I was walking with them... But then I started to fall behind... And I stopped to look out over the water... And it was just so beautiful! I wanted so, so much to be able to share it with you sweetheart... It would have been so much better with you. Everything's better with you. She wrote me an email... That doesn't sound like much, right? But... I didn't think she'd get the time to, I didn't expect it... I expected a quick "Hello, I love you, Goodbye." And instead she wrote me this long, sweet email... And it made me feel so good. I swear, my heart actually swelled. I don't think she really knows how much it meant to me. Honey, do you know how much it meant to me? It came just when I needed it most, it made me so happy. Thank you. Everything, everything is reminding me of her... I'm not joking darling, you're everywhere, I can see you everywhere... I miss you terribly, I miss you all terribly, but I miss you most of all. I love being here, it's amazing... But I'm counting the days until I can talk to you again, until I can see you again, until I'm in your arms again. I love you baby.
