This was folded up in the back of my Journal. I don’t remember if it was ever delivered.

Dear Stephen Amon,

I’m missing you like crazy right now. I have been for a lot of this trip (which means you were wrong!) The trip has been incredible so far, but having you here with me would make it so much easier. I’ve seen some tough things over here, and I wish you were here to help me through it all. I wish I could promise you that I’d never be away from you this long again, but with the jobs we’ll have I really can’t promise that. But I can promise you that I’ll love you forever, and that as long as I know you love me back, I’ll be able to pull through. I’ll try my hardest to be beside you as much as possible, because I don’t ever want to miss you this much again. I want to be there for every important moment, every smile from your beautiful face, watching your amazing blue eyes light up as you laugh, kissing you and hearing you gasp, speechless in love. I love everything about you, I’m so glad I brought my ring with me. It’s the only thing of yours that I have with me. I have to take it off when we go to the community, but the second we get back to Totorrias (our Ecuadorian home) I run to our room and put the ring back on. I miss holding your hand, holding you, long nights laying together, watching the stars from your roof, lying together, sharing stories and dreams. I can’t wait to see you again. I’m going to attack you with my love. I miss you so much beautiful.

Love x a billion.

Chris Riehl.

My boyfriend is the best boy friend in the world. I love you my beautiful man! :D
