Whoever came up with the saying, “Out of sight, out of mind”? I haven’t seen you in such a terribly long time, Yulyashka, almost a year, but you fill my heart so completely. And it seems there’s only more and more of you in it. Sometimes I’m amazed myself at how an ordinary human heart can hold such enormous love for you. I talk to you all the time. Like a madman, I sit at breakfast imagining that the whole family is together, I come up with a joke and tease you, then imagine your comeback, and then mine again. The children laugh, and in my head we keep joking back and forth until you say, with pretend irritation: all right, that’s enough, leave me alone already. Today is Valentine’s Day, and of course I’m in love with you, so I’m sending you this heart 🧡 I love you. I miss you. Your husband
