Dear Caleb;
You are the love of my life since I can remember but I'm sorry to write to you that this is a 'Dear John' letter but it has a twist. Your future ahead of you is bright and I don't want ruin that for you. So this is goodbye and that I am letting you go free.
If you have not guessed yet, I'm pregnant. Just over six weeks. I've known for half of that. I know that you have many plans for your future and being a young dad was not one of them. So I'm giving you an option 'out' right now.
I will not tell you that you cannot be a part of your child's life. If you decide not to I will not ask for you anything. I will you go on with your life as I will go on with ours. I will leave my e-mail the same if you decide to change your mind.
I know that none of this was planned but I am not going to have an abortion or give our child up for adoption. I'm also not asking for you to marry me. All I am doing is giving you the facts.
So if in the coming years a young lady or gentleman asks you why you weren't around, you know the truth and you can give them this letter. I know that you would to do the honorable thing but I, the mother of your unborn child, am telling you to do what is best for your future.
I have already destroyed my future and I will not bring yours down with mine and that is a promise. I know that this is a lot to take in but I had to tell you before I continue with my plans to leave.
My departure date is the sixteenth of July. I will not tell you where I am going but I have left you a way to contact me, if you need to.
I need you to know that you will always be a part of my life. As I've said you are the love of my life and probably always will be. I cannot be the one that keeps you from Harvard and you dreams.
I'm sorry, but I'll try my best to explain to our possible son about his powers. I cannot guarantee anything expect that our child will know that their father was an honorable, fair hearted, caring, loving, and kind man.
I guess that's all I have to say. I want you to know that I will always love you.
Lovingly Yours
Sarah Wenham
