Love Note

Today’s Prompt: You stumble upon a random letter on the path.You read it. It affects you deeply, and you wish it could be returned to the person to which it’s addressed. Write a story about this encounter.

The paper was folded into an uneven square when I picked it up off the path. I carefully unfolded it and began to read. I was struck by the love scrawled across the lined memo pages.

Don’t forget today (and every day) that your number one fan is always with you. You’ll do great cause you are the greatest, most amazing, unstoppable, unsinkable, loved immensely by me-YOU!

I smiled as a memory flashed through my mind. My pen poised in the air as I searched for the words, and then hastily put pen to paper. Giggling to myself as I placed it on the nightstand under his keys. The note passed back and forth through the years. A sure fire pump-up going into life’s biggest days. Or on a day like today when I leaned in for a goodbye kiss, tucked into my pocket just because.
