Love Letters: Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan

To my wife—on Christmas Day—’78.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

You mother raised a wonderful daughter—who became a most wonderful wife. It’s amazing what that four letter word “wife”, covers when it’s applied to you.

It means a companion without whom I’m never quite complete or happy. It means the most desirable woman in the world who gets more desirable every day. It means someone who can make me lonely just by leaving the room.

I live in a perpetual warm glow because of you. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being my wife.

Merry Christmas and All My Love,

Your Husband
