Dear Mom and Dad,

I'm in love again... No, not again. Still. I am still in love. I just understand it now more than I did before. I've been saying those words for a while and yet I fully realized that it's completely true only recently. It's a wonderful feeling this love. It keeps me warm these cold nights. It gives me strength when I feel weak. She inspires me. In toughest moments all I have to do is just tell her this and she hugs me tightly and whispers that everything will be alright.
You met her a couple of times and told me that you like her. Even though you didn't have much time to get to know her, I know that you're happy for me. She is breathtakingly beautiful inside and out. She's had some difficult stories in the past and lots of skeletons in the closet but it just made her so much more desirable. I didn't ask for your blessings or approval but you were the biggest reasons for this love. So once again I thank you.
You know her name. It's Israel. She is my country, she is my land. She is my darling. She is my Big Love. I pledge myself to her. I promise to protect her. I want to grow old with her. Even though she has plenty of shortcomings I will love her always. I am hers and she is mine. In happiness and grief. In sickness and in health... I do.
