My Dearest Love,

I have loved you ever since the first time I laid eyes on you at the packet ship to Callay. Your doe brown eyes and your golden hair that would have appeared to be spun from the finest silk was only your outter beauty but it was a reflection of your soul. You captivated me and held me fast in your heart.

Our companionship is one that is rare. We are like a perfect circle. We fit together. A circle we have formed cannot be unbroken even in the confounds of death. Know that my soul will be watching over you.

I can honestly say when it comes to us I have no regrets but one. I should not have come to Paris. I felt it was what I needed to do. The truth is it was a mistake that will cost me dearly. It will cost me dearly because it will cost you. Your pain hurts me so it is like being stabbed with a thousand swords.

When I think about the life we have built together and the beautiful daughter we share it is enough to sustain me until we meet again in heaven. We will meet again my darling. Have no doubt about that. I vow that you are going to be with me one day again. I vow our child will one day be with us again. The moments I wish I could relive were not for certain the large ones alone. I can remember a time when our child was 3 weeks old. I had to go out of town for the day and when I came back I saw you asleep with the baby in your arms also asleep. That was a perfect moment for me. My family safe and my heart secure.

Remember my dearest that the struggles will last for only a moment. It will end shortly and the hurt will fade away. You are my reason. You are my world. You are my hope. You are my heart. I love you.

Charles
