Dear Haley
Hi darling. How are you keeping? By the time that you receive this letter, I will have been gone for one year. I hope you are well. I didn't want to leave you. I had no choice, but to give up. The cancer had already spread and the treatments were only making me sicker. I had no choice, but to give up and enjoy the time I had left with you, Jamie and Lydia.
I hope by now the pain of losing me has eased. I want you to be happy.
As you know, basketball was my first love. I thought I knew who I was and where I wanted to be in life, then I met you. You showed me that there is more to life than basketball. You taught me how to love and you helped me grow as a person. I know that we got married when we were just sixteen and that we struggled, a lot, but I want you to know that I wouldn't have changed a thing, because it only made our love stronger.
The day I married you, the day Jamie was born and the day Lydia was born, were the three best days of my life.
I love you, Hales. You taught me to believe. I want to thank you for everything that you did for me. Thank you for loving me.
I want you to remember me and the times that we shared, but I want you to let go. I'm not coming back. I know it must hurt to read that because it is hurting me writing it. It hurts knowing that I won't see your beautiful face again or that I won't see my kids grow up. I need you to accept that I won't be walking through the front door any moment. I want you to enjoy your life. Fall in love again. Go skydiving, baby, I know you always wanted to. Travel. Live your life. Stay strong. Be happy.
Please, give my kids a goodnight kiss from me, every night and tell them that I love them.
I love you, Haley, so much. You made me happy. I have to go now, but I will be with you wherever you go. I'll see you on the other side, my beautiful wife. I love you, always and forever!
Nathan.
I am thinking about writing letters to Nathan from Jamie, Lydia and Haley. If you want me to write them, tell me in the reviews :)xo
