Letter 1

21/6/1925 - letter 1

Dear Blanche -my love, my one, my only,      

                        When I am with you I am a seed, newly planted. I have been ready and waiting for you for as long as I can remember. The green prospects of hope lay in my shoots. And now you're here, the rain. The glorious rain which I crave and desire. So reflective, yet so transparent. Hydrogen and Oxygen bonded together, unable to part as we are. Now all hope is with you.

With your help I broke out of the ground, shooting for the skies. Knowing you will always be there, keeping me upright, keeping me stable, I couldn't be any stronger. You're here with me when I need you most. When I am with you, I long for your return because I miss you so. You've built me up. prepared me for those days I wait for you. This soil is mine, this sun is mine, this life is mine. Now I've got you - nothing can stop me! I burst out - a bright yellow flower.

Yours Sincerely

yours always x
