Dear Jan (if I call you "Sammy", I wonder if you would know the TV show I am

thinking of? -- got you.  An hint: think of the shorten form, and then,

apply it to an longer form--the shorten form is a nickname):


I finished my niece's project last night, apparently before you wrote you

last messages--remember, we are two hours ahead of you all and I didn't stay

up too late, I didn't sleep that great.  And they are repaving the road in

front of our house and the truck and all were very noisy at 7:00 a.m.


 Now, my niece wants me to do a banner, which I just printed.  Now, I have

to tape it up and bring it to her.  So, I can't stay too long.  I definitely

will write later, though I do have to get up early tomorrow and drive my

mother to New Orleans.  We are picking up her brother and then going to the

airport to pick up her niece; my cousin.  So, I may not get to write until

late tomorrow.  And Friday, I will be gone most of the day.


I read your letters.  I have so much to write you.  I don't want to rush

things, but your letters are reaching my heart.  Well, I will be open with

you, right now, I want to hold you so bad.  You bring such comfort to me

with your letters.  I can only imagine how holding you and looking into your

eyes will make me feel.  I won't write more along these lines.  I have never

been lucky before with women.  They tend to hurt me, though I will admit,

most of the time I hurt myself through them.  Now, whenever I think I like

someone, I develop the feeling they are going to hurt me.  Though with you,

I don't feel that too much, but there is little of that feeling--that you

will hurt me.  Well, that is life.


How I hope you are not playing with my feelings?  God, how I love your

letters.  Please, write whenever you want.  And I will definitely find a way

to get on the internet in North Carolina.  Will write later.


Take care ("Your dearest" came to mind.  See what you do to me.),

Steven


I hate to said goodbye.  Bye.
