This may come as a surprise to you Kate but, thinking about our times together, and the fun we have shared, and the people that we have met, I have to say in all sincerity that I have fallen deeply in love with you.
It hasn't been difficult my darling.
It didn't happen overnight either (though I'm sure some of our close knit group my think otherwise). The plain truth of the matter is this, I simply loathe leaving you now, and am compelled to put these things to you.
Do you remember that weekend at Coventry? I'm quite sure you do - we were having tea in that lovely tearoom by the river and you got some cream on your nose!
My goodness me.
It was so funny I almost choked on my sandwich, and your eyes flashed with the most glorious sparkle.
Little things! But instances like that made my defences crumble, and it was then that I began to realise...the truth.
My work has been a constant distraction I regret to say, but you have proved an unmovable tower of strength in your loyalty and forgiving. I can never deserve your love but am glad of it.
Oh it's beginning to rain again Kate! No matter, the flowers will benefit a good soak.
My mother sends her best my love - she misses you awfully (as do I). I'm leaving this letter by your headstone - just a sentiment between the two of us. You can read it after I go - no tears darling.
I shed enough for us both.
I'll pop by tomorrow Kate,
we can talk some more then.
James no longer cries in his bedroom (he's three now - can you imagine!).
Goodnight Kate.
Miss you my love.
