DAYS OF OUR LIVES-SPEAK EASY

Hope's Letter To Bo on Their Wedding Day

Dear Bo:

I am writing this letter to you on the morning of our wedding. I'm going to put it away in a special place, and one day, years from now, I'll show it to you. Gran gave me the idea. She wrote a letter to Grandpa on their wedding day. She wrote of all her feelings, her hopes, and dreams, so that one day they could look back and remember how their life began together...I want us to do that too.

As I write, I'm looking into the future, to that day when you finally read this. What will we be like? How will we feel when that day finally arrives? I'll be leaving for the church in a little while, I'll take your hand and pledge my love to you for all eternity. I'm so excited, so happy...and yes...a little frightened. But mostly, I'm filled with this incredible emotion that wells up inside of me. It overflows and reaches every part of me..giving me joy, such happiness. It's such a wonderful emotion...I'm not sure what to call it. A little word like love doesn't seem big enough to describe it..but I guess there is no other word...so in the end I'm right back where I started with no word to truly express the depth of my love, the joy of my emotion, the certainty of my committment.

I just want you to know that on this day, and every day therafter, I will thank God for you. And I will love you from the bottom of my heart, from the depth of my soul....."forever"

Love,

Hope

Peter's Letter To Jennifer On Their First Anniversary

Jennifer,

Oh, my darling Jennifer on our first wedding anniversary. I know things aren't great between us right now. You are angry and hurt, you have every right to be...that's why I am leaving Salem tonight. But I want you to have this to prove my love for you, and when you wear it..I hope you will think of me. I know one day you will forgive me and give me another chance. I can't exist without you Jennifer, you are my world, my life...and I love you so very much.

Nicole's Letter To Eric( 10/19/98)

Dear Eric,

I hope you will take the time to read these words. It would have been futile to try and say them to you because right now you don't want to look at me, so it will be easier on both of us...so here it goes:

You're so wonderful and caring. I know that I've upset you, but I know we can get past this. We began something very special and I don't want to lose it. Please forgive me for lying to you, I can't believe I am going to lose you because of one stupid lie. Can't you find it in your heart to forgive me and forget? I pray you can because I love you and this isn't just a passing feeling. I think I could love you forever, and I hope that maybe you love me too. Anyways, that's the truth, so no I guess the next move is yours. I'll be waiting to hear from you.

All My Love,

Nicole
