     1.4 +Dear Sakura

     1.9 +Dear Fanren-chan,
    1.10 +	I'm dreadfully sorry that it has taken me so long to reply to your
    1.11 +beautiful letter, but things have been very hectic here as of late.
    1.12 +I'm writing this in the limousine on the way to work. Sakura-chan
    1.13 +feel back to sleep with her head on my lap. You really should see
    1.14 +her. She looks so adorable. We were up late last night, so neither of
    1.15 +us were eager to get out of bed. I know that I should probably wake
    1.16 +her up because she's just messing up her gorgeous auburn hair, but I
    1.17 +can't bring myself to take her from the land of dreams. Mother gave
    1.18 +her a job at Daidouji Toys, so Sakura's been very busy trying to
    1.19 +learn how things work at the business. It was a little difficult for
    1.20 +her at first, but Sakura-chan really has an endless amount of
    1.21 +determination inside of her. You can see it burning inside when you
    1.22 +gaze into her emerald eyes. So even with the difficulty it's posed
    1.23 +for her, Sakura-chan has been throwing her all into it. She looks
    1.24 +very cute in business suits. Mother keeps joking that with Sakura-
    1.25 +chan here she could retire and leave the company with me but then I'd
    1.26 +never get any work done because my mind would always been on Sakura-
    1.27 +chan. But that's just silly. My mind is always on Sakura-chan as it
    1.28 +is. 
    1.29 +	Mother wanted me to thank you for your kind words about her
    1.30 +dancing. She really is a wonderful dancer. I know that she enjoyed it
    1.31 +quite a bit when she was younger and still does when she has a
    1.32 +chance, though she's very particular about her dance partner. She's
    1.33 +waiting for one dance in particular. But I think her partner won't
    1.34 +mind if she dances with me or Sakura once or twice until then. You
    1.35 +were an extremely good dancer yourself. For some reason I had thought
    1.36 +as much. Ieran-sama must have raised you for such things, but I think
    1.37 +a lot of it was your own giddy spirit shining through. It was a
    1.38 +wonderful night of dancing. I feel bad for keeping Sakura-chan mostly
    1.39 +to myself, but I was far too intoxicated by her presence to let go of
    1.40 +her. It was a lovely night and if you're ever in Tomoeda again, I
    1.41 +would love to go and experience it all again. 
    1.42 +	We were both very happy to have you here. The house was always very
    1.43 +quiet with just mother and myself, so we're both so happy to get an
    1.44 +exuberant burst of energy to liven up the house. I was very happy to
    1.45 +see you again. Thank you so much for coming. You were such a great
    1.46 +help during my stay in Hong Kong and your letters helped me
    1.47 +tremondously. It was a pleasure to be the subject of Li Fanren's
    1.48 +attention, even if for such a short period of time. I can't thank you
    1.49 +enough for your friendship throughout all of this. Thank you very
    1.50 +much. I hope that you one day find someone that will fill up your
    1.51 +heart with the unending joy that Sakura-chan grants me. I really do
    1.52 +love her with all my heart and she makes me so incredibly happy. I
    1.53 +hope one day you can have that as well. But with how loving you are,
    1.54 +I'm certain that that day isn't far off. 
    1.55 +	I'm very glad that Meiling-chan finally has Li-kun. I could always
    1.56 +tell that she loved him dearly. I felt sorry for her when Sakura-chan
    1.57 +got with Li-kun, because she and I were both in very similar
    1.58 +positions, but I guess neither of us have to worry about that
    1.59 +anymore. I bet their wedding will be a very beautiful one indeed.
    1.60 +I'll have to give Meiling-chan all my best hopes for her happy wedded
    1.61 +future. I think she'll do well with Li-kun. From what I had seen and
    1.62 +what Sakura tells me, he can be stubborn at times, but that shouldn't
    1.63 +be a problem for Meiling-chan. It's nice to know that they'll have
    1.64 +their happy ending as well. I know I'm enjoying mine immensely.
    1.65 +Knowing Li-kun has found his prince will delight Sakura-chan, I'm
    1.66 +sure. 
    1.67 +	Sakura-chan and I are looking for our own place now, though I know
    1.68 +mother wouldn't mind if we keep staying with her indefinitely.
    1.69 +Sometimes I think she adores Sakura's presence as much as I do.
    1.70 +Wherver we go, we'll definitely need to have plenty of space. It
    1.71 +turns out that Sakura brought a shimmering gift with her from Hong
    1.72 +Kong. We just found out several days ago when Sakura woke up and
    1.73 +wasn't feeling very well. It took us a while to find out why, but we
    1.74 +were both thrilled when we found out. It almost looked like Sakura-
    1.75 +chan was going to faint at first so I held onto her as tightly as I
    1.76 +can, though I couldn't quite keep from shaking myself. Sakura is
    1.77 +pregnant, Fanren-chan. We were both so surprised at first, but we're
    1.78 +overjoyed at the prospect of a little child to raise. I'm sure she'll
    1.79 +look just like her mother. Don't worry at all about the baby. I'm
    1.80 +going to try to pamper Sakura as much as possible throughout her
    1.81 +pregnancy and I want to do the same to the baby as soon as she comes
    1.82 +to join us. Looking at my poor sleeping Sakura-chan like this, you'd
    1.83 +never know she was pregnant. But it fills my heart with joy to know
    1.84 +that she has a little life growing inside of her. Sakura says that if
    1.85 +it's a girl, she's going to name her after me. I teased her that it
    1.86 +isn't fair that she gets to name a child after me but I only got to
    1.87 +name a teddy bear after her. If our daughter is chibiTomoyo, then I'm
    1.88 +going to have to let her sleep with Sakura Bear in her crib, so that
    1.89 +our little Sakura and Tomoyo can have wonderful dreams together. 
    1.90 +	I once said that I would be happiest as long as the one I loved was
    1.91 +happy. But I learned that my lonely heart longed for Sakura's genki
    1.92 +warmth to soothe it. I can't begin to describe how happy my new
    1.93 +auburn haired wife has made me. The wedding was very likely the
    1.94 +single greatest day of my life, surpassing even the treasured day
    1.95 +when I first met her. To join our hearts like that, to have
    1.96 +everything fall into place so perfectly, to see everyone there for us
    1.97 +as we pledged our love... It was all hanyaan. I hope Sakura-chan
    1.98 +doesn't mind me stealing her word, but it really is the only thing
    1.99 +that fits how I feel even now as I look back on it. I'm surprised she
   1.100 +hasn't gotten tired of me watching the wedding video yet. Thank you
   1.101 +so much for videotaping it for me. The angles were all perfect and
   1.102 +when Sakura-chan steps into the frame my heart begins to melt. My
   1.103 +sweetest dreams pale in comparison to actually standing there with
   1.104 +Sakura in wedding gowns, gazing into her eyes and knowing that we'll
   1.105 +never be alone again. If these days never end, I know I have found
   1.106 +heaven. 
   1.107 +	My lovely Sakura-chan sleeps so peacefully even as we near work, as
   1.108 +if such trivial things are of no consequence to my dreaming angel. I
   1.109 +love her so much, Fanren-chan. With all my heart and soul. With all
   1.110 +that I am. And this love for her grows with every passing day, just
   1.111 +as it always has. It has become a thrilling ache throughout me as I
   1.112 +spend my days and nights with the Mistress of the Cards, and bask in
   1.113 +her energetic and kawaii presence. This delicious ache always grows
   1.114 +stronger, almost painfully so, but I would never wish to be without
   1.115 +it. I used to watch every little adventure she had through the lens
   1.116 +of my camcorder. Now everyday is an adventure, but rather than
   1.117 +watching it, Sakura pulls me into it, giving me a taste of the
   1.118 +wondrous things life has to offer. Raising a daughter, finding a
   1.119 +house, and wherever else this delightful path takes us, I will be
   1.120 +more than happy to follow as long as my beautiful bride is there to
   1.121 +light up my world.
   1.122 +	The limousine has stopped. I'll have to wake Sakura-chan up soon.
   1.123 +But I hope no one ever wakes me up from this dream. I want it to go
   1.124 +on forever. 
   1.125 +
   1.126 +Your friends in Japan,
   1.127 +Tomoyo and Sakura Daidouji
