It has been requested that I repost a post I
made when I first began blogging.
Since Valentine's day is right around the corner,
I thought this would be the perfect time
to repeat this post.
An Open Confession...
Dear John: I just came back from our time together. Once again, I feel lighter than I did before I saw you. I want you to know how important you are in my life. It's been nine, incredible years that we have been together, yet no one knows what you mean to me. I doubt that you could have any idea of your importance in my life. You have been through some pretty rough spots with me. Many ups and downs, highs and lows. You never judge me. You never care if I'm wearing make-up or what I'm wearing. You listen to me with unwavering patience and concern for my well being. Do you realize that you are the only one in this whole world that knows my deepest and darkest secrets? I never have to worry about you telling anyone either. I am very grateful. This is my favorite time of the year with you. You always bring me lilacs. You understand how intoxicating they are to me and that they do not compare to the most expensive perfume in the world. We let the warmth of the sun envelope us as we travel across the grass. No one ever hears us and it is rare that anyone ever sees us. It's amazing that we have kept this secret for all these years. I miss the little time we can be together in the colder months. I hate that travel is so tremendous then. I often wish you could cuddle up with me at night but we both know how scandalous that would be. Luckily, my dog will occasionally snuggle up in the crook of my back as I pull the wool blanket to my chin and I can fall asleep with thoughts of you. I don't ever want to think of moving yet I know I will have to one day. Leaving this home won't be the difficult part, it will be leaving you. Once I leave, I know I will never be back with you. I can't even bare the thought of not having you with me. I fear I'd die of loneliness. It's time I tell you the truth. I think I love you Dear John Deere. You're the best therapist...errr...I mean tractor a girl could ever have. Love, Jill

Oh Jill. You really got me. This is so beautiful and then a tractor. I mean really?????? LOL.
Great post.
TFS
LOL Got me too!'Gloria
Jill,
I absolutely, positively, wholeheartedly love this. I need to tell you that I truly have experienced the same relationship with John. The only difference, I have been with him for thirteen years. I thought last year I would lose him. He was in the hospital for a long time. He had a heart transplant and seems as good as new, (almost.) John is resting comfortably right now and looking forward to soon be back in full strength. Please don't think "your John is my John.". I would not do that too you. I am happy you shared this with me for now when I am with my John I will think of your John with you.
All the best . . .
Love, Lynne
Love it!
MOL and Dear John has a very good sense of color...green and yellow!!
Hugs Madi and Mom

I love this! I had a therapy session with my John Deere today while I put out hay for the cows! I grew up driving a JD and spent lots of alone time with him. ♥ green and yellow!
Oh Jill, I was almost in tears, from the love that was flowing from this letter. Then I got to the end and I about fell of my chair laughing!!! Girl you are to much!!!:) I am going to have to share this with my brother, he feels the same way about Harly Davidson! lol
Oh, boy, you really had me. I was wondering who John was as I read along. It didn't seem like he was your husband. It was all so beautiful and touching...then came the big reveal...haha...you are so funny :)
Well, you got me too. I was feeling the tears a coming, and then bam I was laughing thanks for the giggle :)
You should send this to John Deere I'm sure they would get a kick out of it.
Love comes in many forms...:)
Ah love, it's so odd isn't it? Haha, so funny!
