A tribute to Love Story
A/n this was written at midnight, the day before my 16th birhtday after I'd just read Love Story. Again! The characters are Erich Segal's, if you want to understand it then read Love Story. The basic plot is that Jenny is dying and is wrting to her husband, Oliver.
Ollie
As I write this I know I will not be with you much longer. I don't know where I'm going or why it's me, I only know that I don't want to leave without saying goodbye. My only sadness wil bee leaving you and Phil, you have to be strong for him, he is going to need you.
All we have struggled for should not be lost, you have a great future ahead of you Oliver Barrett IV with or without me. All I want you to do is this, don't blame yourself. None of this is your fault, and don't go thinking you stole Paris or anything from me. I chose to stay with you because I love you, you never made me do anyhting I didn't want to.
I know that one day you will fall in love again, you will because I am telling you to. I don't want you to mope around missing me, why miss what you can't have? We will meet again one day, perhaps not heaven, although if Phil thinks I'm going there then maybe I will, be it in heaven, hell or the afterlife disco we will not be apart forever.
If this makes you realise anything then you will see how short our time is and you will do something, not for me, for you. Make up with your father, he only wants what is best for you, you know that really, do whatever else you want, but please don't fight any more.
Although our time together was so shortv it meant so much to me. I want you to go on living, and live my life for me, just go and live a little Ollie, don't stop just because I have.
I love you
Jenny
