Forget me never...

Letter 63

My dear Charlie,

I'm writing you from Scotland in my father's castle, where I'm having a wonderful time with my wife and my son. This is where we spent the most beautiful summer of our lives... So coming back years later, married, with our son in tow, it's simply magnificent.

To show Anthony-William everything we did he was especially amazed by the story with the airplane that we had managed to make fly for a few moments. The stories about the fight with his uncle Archie he was very interested in them too. He now sees how I now get along with Archie and he understands that even if we had difficult beginnings, we can end up being friends. The story between his mum and I fascinated him a lot... I saw him write a lot of stuff in his diary. That child is going to be a writer one day, I'm telling you.

Life with Candy is wonderful. I'm wondering why I lost so much time being angry at her for nothing, for something I couldn't change.

Live is frankly too short to waste on futilities. So my buddy, you've got a pregnant wife, don't waste a minute and spend all the time you can with her. I can't wait on my side for Candy to be pregnant again so that I can spend all the time I can with this new child, God would like to give us one day.
Life is beautiful now for you, don't take it for granted and believe me I know what I'm talking about. Did you see how long it took my father to get my mother back and get married with her and finally be happy? He wanted to do his duty and he was unhappy. I did the same thing and I was luckier, because I was able to get Candy back and marry her earlier. We're going to have the opportunity, if God is willing, to have other children. Our children will have to become friends like we were, all right?

I thought that living with my son was wonderful, but adding Candy to the mix just made me happier than I ever thought. I never thought I could be so happy. Sometimes I think about Susanna, about her sacrifice which made so many people unhappy, herself included. Maybe she should've let that projector fall on me... But destiny wanted her to save my life. I gave her ten years of my life and I hope she was happy. I did my duty. So I think I'm entitled to happiness too and I got it. I thank the Lord every day for my good fortune. I wish you the same happiness as me buddy.

Give a big kiss to Sandra and thank the Lord every day for your happiness.

Your best friend,

Terry
