Forget me never...

Letter 53

My dear Candy,

How are you? I hope that all is well for you. With everything that has happened and all the hostility with Terry, I didn't have the opportunity to thank you for the wonderful grandson that you gave me. Unlike Terry, I am not mad at you at all. When Terry's father came to take him from me, it was the most horrible day of my life. It was as if he had snatched a part of me and left with it. So I do understand after having lost Terry, that you wanted to keep preciously the best gift that he didn't know he had made you. I always thought that Terry and his sense of duty was much too noble for a cause which, according to me, wasn't. I always thought that he had lost 10 years of his life and I was mad at Susanna for making my son unhappy. But to learn that you had given him a son, was as if a thousand candles had been illuminated all at the same time in my heart. Terry's sacrifice had not been in vain... God took pity on him and had given him a son! It was as if all this time lost with Susanna had been erased by the presence of Anthony-William... It is really the most beautiful present that you could have given Terry. And when he will calm himself and reflect upon the situation, he will also realise it and run to go and get you. It also enabled me to make peace with Susanna Marlowe and what she did to my son. So thank you Candy...

Meanwhile, I will soon fulfill one of my craziest dreams, that of acting on stage and give the reply to my talentuous beloved son, who will play the role of «Hamlet : the Prince of Denmark». I am sending you tickets for the Premiere. William-Anthony would like to see his friend Alistair come too. So I included tickets for him and his parents also.

I hope to see you all very soon. Anthony-William is also very eager to see you. He looks so much like Terry! Thank you again, Candy, for this wonderful little boy.

We are waiting for you,

Eleonor
