Two-time Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney took to the social media blogging site, Medium, to post a love letter to his wife of 45 years, Ann Romney.

Romney posted the letter shortly after the couple launched the Ann Romney Centre for Neurologic Diseases, which is a facility specializing in Alzheimer's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson's Disease and brain tumors, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Above the letter, he posted a picture of him, taken around 1968 in France, where he had drawn a huge heart in the sand with the help of friends with a note inside the heart: "I love Ann," CNN reports.

Romney spent around  two-and-a-half years as a Mormon missionary in France. The couple got married in 1969 and has five sons.

In the letter, the Republican politician has praised his wife and also provided details of her diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis, The Daily Caller reports. "It's been over fifteen years since we sat in the first neurologist's waiting room ... We could handle anything, I said, as long as it wasn't terminal. From one of the wounded, you have become one of the warriors," Romney wrote in the letter, ABC News reports.

He closes the letter with the line: "I could not be more proud of the 15 year old girl I fell in love with almost 50 years ago."

Meanwhile, quashing all rumors of another Presidential campaign by Mitt Romney, Ann Romney said that the couple as well as their children are "Done. Done. Done," New York Daily News reports.
