“Dear Jessica,
I hope you don’t mind hearing from me. It’s been 50 years, but I wanted to tell you that there has not been a day I haven’t thought of you. It was never my intention to leave you, not ever, but your father threatened me. I shouldn’t have listened, but I was too young and too afraid,” the letter read.
Jessica stopped and wiped her tears. She needed to gather strength to continue reading the letter that she had been hope to receive her whole life.
“I never married and never had children because I could never date anyone after you. Here are my phone number and address. Please write me if you want.
“Sincerely, Karl.”
Jessica finally got the answer she was looking forward to for so many years. Karl’s letter was the closure she needed badly.
She did write back, and after some time, Karl called her. They talked for hours, recalling their young days and the wedding day that never happened.
Eventually, Karl and Jessica met. Being 75, they were both aware they didn’t have much time left, but they decided to make the most of the time that remained.
