Dear  Helen,

My  grandson  and  I  are  suffering  from  two  of  our  losses.  He  lost  both  of  his  parents and  I  lost  my  son  and  daughter-in-law.  It's  hard  for  me  to  keep  my  grandson  strong  when  I  myself  is  weak.  My grandson has left and has gone to New York.  He's so angry with himself, with everybody and everything else in this world.  He wanted to be alone.  I know he can take care of himself.  I made him promise me to come back here once he has cleared his mind.  He blames his mother for both of his parents' death.  It really crushed him. I will tell you the whole story when we meet.

I'm  sitting  on  this  bench  once  again,  feeling  your  presence,  feeling  the  strength  you're  giving  me  as  if  you're  here.  How  I  wish  this  were  all  true.  How  I  wish  you're  sitting  right here  beside  me,  holding  my  hand  and  telling  me  it's  going  to  be  all  alright.  Je  vous  ai  aimés,  Helen  and  I  always  will.

Love,

Jean
