Forget me never...

Letter 44

My pal Terry,

I received your letter well and you don't need to thank me for the wedding. You are my best friend and I couldn't get married without you there. I would also like to thank you for your help and for your gift. An honeymoon in Paris, the City of Lights! I will finally visit France!

To see you with your son, I must admit that I never saw you so happy in all your life. You and your little one look so much like each other. I had the impression of seeing you when you were little, he looks so much like you, he has the same mimics, and the American accent, that is how you spoke when you were young, before your father brought you to England. I know that you're very happy, because your joy gleamed before everybody. I know that it's your son who put you in this state.

But there's still a stone missing to your happiness : Candy. You did say that maybe Susanna didn't really love you, because she didn't let you be with the one you truly loved. So what's to say about Candy who loves you and who let you go not once, but twice to Susanna? Maybe she told herself that since Susanna loved you, it was enough. She thought that you had a duty to fufill and that your conscience wouldn't have been in peace if you hadn't seen to it. She didn't want to be the cause of your regret. Admit that you are liberated from a weight of duty towards Susanna that you had. You were more happy, you were ready to run to Candy and you discovered that she raised your son all alone. Admit that she could have gotten married and found a father for her child, but she didn't, because she wanted you. She kept herself for you. She was married, right? But the universe wasn't fine with that, so she found herself free... Terry, you lost 10 years of your life with a woman that you didn't want. Don't lose a minute and reconcile with Candy. You love her and will love only her. I know that you will finally calm down and realise that she gave you the best present in the world, right? She gave you a marvelous son. It is time for you to marry Candy and to have your family life.

My honeymoon is going very well. But what are you saying? I was the one who taught you everything, you little ungrateful friend!

I'm eager to be on firm land, sometimes I have seasickness and it's horrible!
I'm leaving you with your son. You can write whatever you want about him. I am glad to know that you're so happy. Don't forget to complete your happiness adding the mother of your child.

Your friend,

Charlie
