Dear Honey, a funny Valentine

If your Honey is inside then holiday cards, birthdays etc have to be planned in advance so they arrive at the jail or pen and make it through the mailroom and arrive in time. 

I like to send multiples.  Sweet, romantic, insightful, caring and funny.  Over kill?  Maybe on the outside but on the inside things are harder and what's left unsaid can hurt. 

Funny needs to be funny yet not hurtful.  They need to see the love through it.  I didn't find anything that said funny for Valentine's in that right way.  Then I remembered St Valentine was in jail too and then my inspiration came. 

Dear Honey

"So your impersonating St. Valentine for me this year?"

"Very romantic <3  but let's say next year you just take me to the movies"

"Love Always Your Honey Bunny"

See the reference to next year?  A little note to remind him I see there being a next year.  And its a suggestion not a "you better or else". 

Dear Honey, thanks for buying toilet paper before getting arrested

Haha, yes I'm the girl but I am also the one who always forgets toilet paper.  Honey felt he was spiraling towards jail so he came home one day with a club pack of tp and said this should last, and if I go to jail you'll need it.  He thinks its funny that I forget tp.  I find it annoying but he has a better sense of humour lol. 

And so this is only a 65 day stint but I still haven't had to buy tp.  When he did it I posted on Facebook "love my Honey, he bought me tp!" Lol.

Dear Honey, thank-you again for buying the club pack of tp.  We still have some.  I'm gonna try real hard to remember to buy another so when you come home we are as well stocked as when you went in lol. 

Yea it's a different kinda of suck when your Honey anticipates going to jail and doesn't get off the path taking him there.  But that's life when loving a struggling alcoholic.  At least he tries his best to make the home ready should he fall that hard.  There are times he pulls it together and doesn't go.  But times like these when he doesn't recover from his fall I have these small reminders around the house that let me know he did his best to put us first in the little ways when the big ways were just to big for him to conquer this time.  And I know he will get back on that horse and try again. 

Dear Honey, missing you

I was gonna have a call with my Honey today out at my parents.  But we are having a snowstorm so I couldn't go.  Then they had phone issues so they missed the call too and couldn't tell him.  This kinda thing upsets me worrying about how it makes him feel.  I get stressed, I cry, I hurt inside.  Then I pull myself together remembering the words in his letter
Dear Honey Bunny, I love you and I know you know this just as I know you love me....
Awe...and what makes this comforting is that reminder not just that he loves me but that we both know we love each other. 
My parents are having me out for Valentines day so we can have a v-day talk.  Honey and I are very fortunate to have supportive parents
