fake letters in reply
Dear Wife,
I did do one nice thing for you,
remember how I stroked your forehead when
you were so ill?
You knew from the beginning, you were my second choice.
Somehow, I couldn't get that first lady out of my head.
When my time is up, I would really like it if you would come to me
and stroke my forehead.
Regards from your husband

It's a beautiful poem

Nice imagery in this piece, Estelle. Works well.
thank you Susan for this.
Sam, you are always kind. Glad you liked it.
This reveals an honest man, not great with knowing what to say and yet says it in an endearing way. Nicely done, Estelle.
thank you Susan, yes a very forthright man I must say.
This is heartbreakingly honest and real. The type of letter that would never get delivered. I hope.*
thanks for that hope Jen and for reading this
