Hamel gave Somers the letter ahead of her 77th birthday on Monday.
Somers, who passed away âpeacefully in her sleepâ on Sunday morning, would have celebrated her 77th birthday on Monday, October 16.
âLove I use it every day, sometimes several times a day. I use it at the end of emails to my loving family. I even use it in emails to close friends. I use it when Iâm leaving the house,â Hamelâs note to Somers began. âThereâs love, then love you and I love you!! Therein lies some of the different ways we use love. Sometimes I feel obliged to use love, responding to someone who signed love in their email, when Iâm uncomfortable using love but I use it anyway.â
âI also use love to describe a great meal,â the love letter continued. âI use it to express how I feel about a show on Netflix. I often use love referring to my home, my cat Gloria, to things Gloria does, to the taste of a cantaloupe I grew in my garden. I love the taste of a freshly harvested organic royal jumbo medjool date. I love biting a fig off the tree. I love watching two giant blackbirds who live nearby swooping by my window in a power dive.â
âMy daily life encompasses things and people I love and things and people I am indifferent to,â Hamel wrote further. âI could go on ad infinitum, but you get it. What brand of love do I feel for my my wife Suzanne? Can I find it in any of the above? A resounding no!!!! There is no version of the word that is applicable to Suzanne and I even use the word applicable advisedly.â

Somers reportedly read the letter then passed away “peacefully in her sleep” early Sunday morning.
âThe closest version in words isnât even close. Itâs not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction. Unconditional love does not do it. Iâll take a bullet for you doesnât do it. I weep when I think about my feelings for you. FeelingsâŚThatâs getting close, but not all the way.â
â55 years together, 46 married and not even one hour apart for 42 of those years. Even that doesnât do it,â Somersâ husband of 46 years added. âEven going to bed at 6 oâclock and holding hands while we sleep doesnât do it. Staring at your beautiful face while you sleep doesnât do it.â
âIâm back to feelings. There are no words,â Hamel concluded the note. âThere are no actions. No promises. No declarations. Even the green shaded scholars of the Oxford University Press have spent 150 years and still have failed to come up with that one word.â
âSo I will call it, âUs,â uniquely, magically, indescribably wonderful âUs.’â
