I Hope

Love, I hope this letter finds you well and in good spirit. By this time I hope the pain of my departure has eased and you are getting on with life. I know I left you unexpectedly but it was God's will. Needless to say I miss you and the children deeply and my heart is breaking. I hope these words give you solace and it is in my heart to thank you for the many years of love, care and sacrifice during our marriage. You made our lives better. You gave us life and I was blessed to be your husband. I hope you know you were the stronger, better person in our marriage. You were our family's strength, wisdom, love and our guiding light. Your love held us together. Your light always shined brightly and held us in its warmth. I hope you know if I had any regrets it is that I was not always there for you and at times let you down. I am truly sorry for that. You were the best thing that ever happened to me. I hope you know that I am glad that I went on ahead before you because I could have not lived in this world without you. I hope through God's mercy, that when your time is finished on Earth, that you will join me in Heaven where the love in your star will guide us all forever. See you then With all my love Forever Last Letter To My Beloved Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Silent One 12/12/18

Wow, Timothy. Very beautifully penned. A FAVE for me for sure. This seems so similar to the letter my father would have left my mother. Lovely.
