Forget me never...

Letter 43

My dear Charlie,

How is the newlywed? I thank you for having waited for my return to America to get married, old buddy, that made me very happy. Having been married by obligation, it was refreshing to see my best friend marry the woman he loves and who loves him back. Susanna said she was in love with me, but I wonder if it was truly love, because when we love someone, we want their happiness. Susanna knew that I didn't love her and that I was unhappy with her. She knew that I was in love with Candy, but she was too selfish to let me go. Her love for me was almost unhealthy, I don't think that it was love, it was an obsession. So I am telling you, thank the Lord for your good star. Despite your difficult and marginal start, you knew how to pay your debt to society and you took a hold of your own life. Your happiness was palpable and Sandra was a very beautiful bride. The Captain was in Heaven to see his daughter so happy. Cookie as a little protective brother was very cute to see. Making a speech was a pleasure for me, you know how I enjoy doing making show.

To have my son with me was a pure bliss. Even if for the moment, I am still ruminating about what his mother did to me. Hiding my son from me for so long! And she didn't stay with Albert, so my little one had no father. It relieves me and it saddens me at the same time. But Candy brought him to me and he now lives with me and my mother for the moment. We are now trying to find a house to move in to. But I must admit that to be living with my mother and my son is very nice.

Anthony-William speeks incessantly of his mummy. It seems like he wants me to remember her. He doesn't know that I don't need for him to talk to me about her for me to think of her 24/7. I only need to see the mini-me blonde version, that is living with me and I see the venetian blonde hair of my Freckles... Learning that I have a son, 10 years later... all my universe was shattered and it will take me some time for me to put everything back into place. For the moment, I spend wonderful times with my son who has an innate talent for writing. Since I already know the role of «Hamlet; The Prince of Denmark» for having played it a few years back, the repetitions are quite easy. Anthony is learning the role and reciting it to me, and I can't tell you the joy that it gives me to hear my son reciting Shakespeare. He has so much talent and he also has his own way to act that reminds me what I did, even though he never saw me on stage playing this role... And we also practice sports, because we need an outdoor activity. These moments with my son are the best in my life.

So my dear friend, I am leaving you to your honeymoon, because I could write about my son for hours to come without getting tired.

I hope that you were up to it in bed and that you listened to the advice I gave you!

Congratulations once again for your wedding.

Your best friend,

Terry
