When you come right down to it, I've done just about everything I've wanted to do and seen about everything I've wanted to see. But you and I agree so closely on how to raise a family, I'm sure that the boys are going to be all right. And I've had enough fun with you to last a lifetime. Don't let the memories of me keep you from marrying again, if you run across somebody fit to be your husband, which would be hard to find, I know. But you're much too wonderful a wife and mother to waste yourself as a widow.
Life is for the living.
So get that smile back on your face, put on some lipstick and a new dress, and show me what you can do toward building a new life. I'll still be living in John, Bill, and Al, and Dan, bless their hearts. That's what they mean by eternity, I think. And of course it's been four years since college. He's read all these personal and hateful feelings that I've left in here.
