Epilogue: The Final Entry -

«Dearest Susanne

My Susanne!

You of the most gentlest, sweetest heart that ever beat within a

living being!

I am too late: your spirit has already departed Earth

Today, with my heart weary and broken, I unite your letters with mine between

the pages of your diary.

I write this final entry to thank you for giving me

little Michiel;

he is everything a father could wish for.

You shall live on

through him.

I shall treasure him always, as I treasure your memory.

Goodbye, my sweet Susanne

Yours always, until the end of days

-Joseph»

I see his starry eyes

He heals my broken heart

Through him

You’ll always be by my side

I hear you call my name

It fades to silence when I wake

A moment lost in time

And now the moment’s gone

And now the moment’s gone

But the memory lives on

Your memory… lives on…
