Dear Jack,

It's been 2 years and 9 months since you passed away. I miss you so so much, and I don't know what to do.

I think I'm beginning to have feelings for another man. I know you wrote that you wanted me to find love again, but so far I just haven't been able to move on, but now, now I don't know what to do. His name is Clancey Scott. He moved to town about a year ago to start an agriculture business. He's a kind man and extremely helpful, comforting and supportive. I know you want me to move on, but I feel like I'm betraying you by falling for another man.

Clancey has two sons, Jacob, who is 7, and Rocco, who is 3. His wife died during childbirth when Rocco was born, so he understands what it's like to lose a spouse, and we support each other. Jacob and Rocco are very lovely boys, and I enjoy watching them with the girls, Jacob is so good with the three younger ones. I think this could be a good thing, Jack. If I could just bring myself to move on just a little.

In other news, Julie and Tom separated. Tom was offered a job in San Fransisco and Julie wasn't ready to leave Hope Valley, as shocking as that may be. She wasn't up for the adventure. Tom made his decision about a month after Julie announced she was pregnant. She's 7 months now. He left without saying goodbye, poor Julie. She's struggled since. I really thought they were good together, Jack.

Rosemary and Lee have a son! His name is Patrick Jack and he is so adorable! He has the chubbiest little cheeks and an adorable smile. Marly and Leah are absolutely in love with the little baby, it's quite cute to watch them, sometimes Rosemary lets them hold him, but only sometimes.

Speaking of Marly and Leah. They're busy little girls. Leah is definitely going to be a little artist when she's older, she definitely takes after her Aunt Julie! Marly likes to dance, Lucy and Opal love to dance with her whenever she's at the school house during recess and lunch. You still can't tell them apart though.

Nate, the constable and one of the mounties you saved, is coming over for dinner tonight. He says my cooking brings him back, but I honestly think he just enjoys playing with the girls. Sometimes he tells them stories about you, from what he remembers from when you trained him. It's lovely. However that does mean I need to go, dinner preparations don't start on their own.

I miss you my darling, Jack.

Your Dearest Elizabeth.
