Dear Claire,
“What” and “if”
are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together
side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if?
I don’t know
how your story ended, but if you felt then was true love, then it’s never too
late. If it was true then, why wouldn’t it be true now? You need only the
courage to follow your heart. I don’t know what a love like Juliet’s feels like
– a love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for. But I’d like to
believe if I were ever to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it.
And, Claire, if you didn’t, I hope one day that you will.
Juliet.
