Writing a letter to my girlfriend who's going away

Hello,
My girlfriend is going away travelling for a year soon and I’m going to miss her like mad.
I’ll be meeting up with her on a couple of occasions during her "world tour", but I thought I'd write her a letter to give to her at the airport as she leaves, but here's where I come stuck, I’m rubbish at putting pen to paper and have no idea what to write and how to write what I feel.
Has anyone else done this before and can offer and tips and advice on what to write?
Thanks

In your case, you need to strike a balance between saying how you feel about your gf, that you love her and will miss her etc., and making it too morbid. Keep the tone upbeat. Wish her 'bon voyage', ask her to keep in touch and say how much you are looking forward to joining her on her adventures. Most importantly, tell her to look after herself and come home safe.
Do you know her itinerary? Perhaps, as a caring gesture, you could look up and include the telephone numbers and addresses of the various British Embassies/Consulates in the countries she is visiting, in case she has a problem.
And i'd say that its best to write it when you have just been talking to her about it... when you are feeling emotional about it because then the feelings all kinda... rush out
& remember, whatever you write, it will mean SO much to her
Happy writing
