Good morning, my hansome Henry... my love, my heart. I'm making this video for you—the first one—so you can finally see me and hear my voice. Look at my face and know that I'm okay. I'm safe. I'm strong. And I'm thinking of you every second. Right now, I'm in a town here in Syria with some of the group. We're just picking up a few personal things we'll need back at the base. Nothing dangerous, baby. Just getting what we need. Even here, so far from home... you're with me. In my heart. In every thought. I miss you. I miss your laugh, your touch, waking up next to you. But I'm holding onto the hope of doing all that again soon. Be strong for me, my queen. Keep loving me. I love you more than anything. This one's from my heart to yours. Wait for me. I'm coming home. Yours always, Ruth 💙
