January 22, 2022 Dear Peg, I wrote you during the times we first fell in love. During those times we were parted when I was away however briefly, sometimes every day. Now we will be parted for an extended period of time, not forever though, for the time it will take for my earthly life to come to an end. “We are to live until we die.” Not helpful at all to me. Our children, animals and friends would dearly miss me as they have missed you if I leave by my own hand early. Joann
