“All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate … I choose love.”
― Johnny Cash
I’m not a swooner. I don’t do swooning. But, this one time, my normally very unromantic husband wrote me a card – in it he said:
My Rebbie, You are the best part of my every day xxx
And f@#k me – did I swoon … then shared it on Facebook, obviously.
Other people are romantic too …
A British poll – undertaken by a British Life Insurance company in a bid to boost the romance factor this Valentine’s Day – has declared that a love letter, written in 1994, by Johnny Cash to his wife June Carter is the most romantic love letter ever. And I would have to agree.
People of the world, take notes – Johnny’s game was strong:
June 23 1994
Odense, Denmark.Happy Birthday Princess,
We get old and get use to each other. We think alike. We read each others minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted.
But once in awhile, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met. You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You’re the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much.
Happy Birthday Princess.
John
And that tharrr is how to pen a letter of love … and possibly get yourself laid – I’m assuming.
Love isn’t always perfect, though …
A letter written in 1527 from King Henry VIII to his second wife Anne Boleyn – whom he later had beheaded – also made the cut. Ha, go figure.
Ever written – or had written for you – a love letter?
“made the cut”? Oh you!

my husband and i swoon each other on a regular basis. a line from one of our favorite songs goes… i want a love like johnny and june.
we have that kind of love.
in middle age we started over making a fantastic life together. our swooning shit is epic and everyone is getting laid real good.
your husband…. yea that’s good stuff right there!
happy valentine’s day <3
You too, ya rotten shagger 😉
We are not swoons but use to be. Now we find its the little things that make me feel special.. not the flowers or letter… A little romance never hurt though.
This is true. These days – if he picks me up tampons, I know I lucked out.
I have always been a big letter writter. Have written my husband so many poems in cards he has kept over the years. Sometimes music is a great way to express love and i also love that hubby sends me links to songs that he has heard with a small note like ; this song made me think of you today.
Now that is sweet! Happy Valentine’s Day x
Yep swooning here. xx
