Jude,

I visit you most days, your grave is beautifully decorated. Eloise cleans it frequently. She's doing wonderfully. At forty seven, she's the proud owner of a bicycle shop. She makes it a habit to not sell red ones.

I guess these letters are perhaps coming to an end. I'm not entirely sure why I feel the urge to stop but I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Thank you for giving me Harrison. He was my light in a very dark time after your death. He's got a girlfriend now, her names Anna. She's lovely, you would've really liked her.

You didn't deserve the fate you were dealt. Twenty was too young an age for a person like you to die. Deep down, I always thought you'd change the whole world. But in the end, I want to thank you for changing my whole world.

Goodbye Jude, rest easy my darling. My love will always be with you, my very first love.

Love the woman who found closure, Renata
