Forget me never...

Letter 6

Chicago

My Dearest Terry,

I received your letter and I'm all excited like a little girl before Christmas. Maybe you think it's ridiculous, but that's how I feel. You think I looked great with my pigtails? They were cute when I was younger, but as I was growing up, I thought a little change would be good. I already look like a little girl and the pigtails were not helping. I'm a nurse and sometimes the patient think I'm a candy stripper (no pun intended) or a volunteer from the local high school. So I thought my hair would make me look more mature. What do you think? Did it make me look older? You're going to keep with you all the time in you wallet? What if Susanna sees it? She's going to be hurt, Terry. So be careful. You said, she wasn't feeling good, and you had to take her to the doctor's, what did the doctor say? What's her condition? I know I'm jealous, because she's with you and I'm here alone, but if you think about it, it's not really her fault... she was in love with you and that love saved your life, and now she put all her hopes into you... you chose her and that gave her hopes since you let me the woman you loved go... So Terry you have to take care of her, otherwise our sacrifice would've been in vain; we should've stayed together if you were going to neglect her... but I was going to make sure she was taken care of... Come to think about it, maybe we should've done that, stay together and make sure she was fine, but she wanted you Terry and only you. I know you don't love her, one sided love is not good for her either... Oh Terry did we do all this the wrong way? Did we make the wrong decision? I'm hoping that having you close to her, makes her feel better. Please Terry, take good care of her.

I saw the two tickets and it reminded me of the invitation you sent me for the premiere of Romeo and Juliet... oh my God! That seems like ages ago! I remember how happy I was, I was singing in the street, without a care in the world, I didn't even see my friends! I remember when Archie said he wanted to buy us ice cream, I told him it was going to melt by the time I get to New York!!! Can you imagine that? All I had was you in my mind... My Terry, my love. So you're coming to Chicago during your tour? And you want to see me? This time around I'm going to make sure I'm available and free to come and see you on stage. Talking about the stage, I never finished "Romeo and Juliet" you know, I left to go see Susanna. Maybe I should've waited for you... then again Susanna would've jumped off the roof... They say everything happens for a reason. When I think that I was worried to see you kiss Karen on stage, not knowing I had bigger worries waiting for me.... I'm sorry, the ticket brought back a lot of memories, good and bad... Thank you so much for the ticket and if Albert is available, I will come with him. I'm looking forward to seeing you. I've got butterflies in my stomach!

By the way, if for you it's going to be like a dream come true, me as your wife, maybe I shouldn't bring a date, don't you think so? Maybe I should come alone... All right, I will be definitely be there. I would miss your show for all the money in the world. But make sure Susanna is taken care of before you go on tour, ok?

I'm looking forward to seeing you, my darling.

I love you deeply.

Your Freckles
