Dear Bella,

On this day of our wedding, I want to declare my love you.  I promise to protect you always. I will kiss you in the morning dew, hold you as you fall asleep.  I will hold your dainty hands in my heart.  I desire to love you until we are old, grandchildren on our knees.   I will always be true to you.  I promise to adore you above all others.  If you die before me, I shall die myself.
               My love to you always,
                      Lewis


Bella and Lewis were married in June of 1944.  They spent each day together and at night the would hide under the blankets tenderly loving each other and whispers their dream.

By 1950, Bella bore two children.  One boy, one girl.  The American dream come true. They raised their children with love and laughter.  The children gave them beautiful grandchildren.  There was more love than most people never achieve.  

Bella and Lewis grew to old age.  The promise of grandchildren on their knees.  The fairytale come true.  Bella sadly developed a heart condition and died with Lewis by her side.  The great love affair comes to an end.

Lewis went back to his home, family by his side.  He openly wept unashamed.  He missed his sweet Bella.  The first few days his children were by his side.  They held him as he cried.  But they had to return to their families.

Lewis took to his bed and never returned.  He wanted to be strong for Bella, but he just missed her so.

That Saturday the children came to check up on their father and found him dead.  Beside him they found a letter and this is what it said:


My Sweet Children,

Please forgive me for what I have done.  Back in 1944 I made your mother a promise that I wouldn't live without her.  It's a promise I have to keep.  We had a love that lasted through the years.  But now I have to go.  I must see your mother again.  I love you dearly.  I hope you understand.  Please forgive me.

Love,
Dad
This isn't very good, I'm trying to break the block.
