They just don't slice them any cuter. Those blues eyes landed on mine and he said, "so your my sister!" I wish you all could meet him. My new angel friend has a name: Leonard. Leonard is such a bright light for the LORD! He loves Him soooo much! One thing that has broken Leonard's heart is the loss of his beautiful wife Eleanor. She passed in 2007 after a long battle with cancer. At one point in our conversation Leonard pulled out of his satchel a bundle of envelopes. Enclosed are love letters to his beloved Eleanor. He gave me a copy of one the poems and letters!
I walked with Leonard out to his little Honda Fit car. He just had to tell me that he loves to give HUGS!!! He was talking to the right person!!!! I gave him several hugs and kisses.......Driving home was exciting but sad for me too! I was already missing him! He told me he loved me (I know it is true) He told me he would pray for me and my family (I know he will) I told him I would keep in touch a pray for him too! I also wanted to share his heart with you all~:0) Enjoy the love and pass it on. I would only ask that if you feel moved to.....would you send my angel friend a note on how his letter has touched you? I pray you will all "see" what God sees! AMEN!!

Dear Eleanor,
I wish I could find words to describe how much I love you, how much I care about you, and how much you mean to me. My life would be so empty without you. When I'm not near you, I feel so lonely. I believe I fall in love with you anew each day. You mean so much to me. We have spent most of our lives together and we have so many memories. God has blessed us. When we got married there were three partners. You and I, and the Lord. He made it all possible. If there is such a thing or person as a female angel, then I married one. You are my angel. God gave us a house, but you made it a home. We are surrounded by things that you have touched, you have made with your own hands. You have done so much in my life, I am so grateful to you. You made me a father. You gave me sons who bear my name. And I know you risked your life in doing so. There is a song that goes:
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you, Please don't take my sunshine away."
We are in our September years, our days are growing shorter. And the shadows of night linger on. Please go with me, we still have a way to go. I need you by my side. There are seeds to sow. There are souls to win. There are people to love. There is hurting to hug. Some day we will lay our sleeves at Jesus' feet and hope and pray that not one will be missing. That we somehow did accomplish what the Lord has done for us. Our life has been like a ride on a stage coach, out of the old west. The path was rough, we covered much ground. Satan sent bandits all along to destroy our work. But you were my faithful partner. You rode shotgun with me. And I was never alone when you were with me. We stopped along the way, many times, to pick up strangers. People who hurt, people who needed someone to love them. People who've lost their way. People who just gave up because they could go no further. We helped them along the way because they were worthy. Jesus loved them. Why shouldn't we? Hopefully we took them to their destination. We have a way to go, please go with me! I want you to be my partner so long as we live. God has proved to me that one plus one can equal one. We are one. When God locked our hearts together, He kept the key. I hope he threw it away, because we will never need it. You are my faithful wife. My lifelong sweetheart. My prayer partner. My best friend and my sister in the Lord. We are now facing a difficult time in our life, your illness has brought on another trial that we will trust the Lord. The Lord's Will must be done but I will pray that He will heal you. That the people know that our God will not let us alone. Jesus said, He will never forsake you. He'll go with you 'til the end and I agree with Him, I will never leave you or forsake you. I love you so much. Thank you for being my sweetheart. You will always be, No one will take your place or could. For you're God's gift to me. I hope the day comes when the two of us can stand face to face with our Lord and I can take your hand and thank Him and tell Him how grateful I am that He chose you and saved you just for me. How wonderful. I wouldn't want it any other way. I don't know how I could change anything, but I do wish I could find words to describe how much I love you. I love you my sweetheart. I care about you. Thank you for your love. Thank you for all you've done for me. You will always be my sweetheart. Let us walk together until the Lord call us home.
All my love,
Leonard

Eleanor
God created an angel in heaven
And did it just for me
He filled her with His precious love
To share it just with me
Her heart was made of purest gold
And was designed just for me
Her life was like the Lord she loved
It was an example even to me
She shared her unselfish love for all
And that she did with me
She touched the hurting world she loved
And that included me
She fulfilled her time God set for her
And always took time for me
This angel sent from a loving God
Is now waiting just for me
She is free at last of all her pain
Her memories are left with me
Her life's partner
