“You must never give in to despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.”
Dear Anne, Since we are parting ways, perhaps forever, I feel I must unburden my heart. You are the fond object of my affection and my desire. You and you alone are the keeper of the key to my heart. Please, don’t be alarmed. I don’t expect your favor. But I can’t in good conscience not reveal myself. I’m not engaged. Nor will I be. Unless, it’s to you, Anne. My Anne with an E. It always has been. And always will be. You.
with love, Gilbert.
