MY FIRST LOVE
*
Claire’s hands shook as she read the final lines of the letter, her heart breaking for the man who had loved her grandmother so deeply, but had been forced to leave her behind.
*Know that I will always love you, Lillian,* the letter concluded. *And that I will always be watching over you, from wherever I may be. Until we meet again.*
The letter was unsigned, but it didn’t need to be. The love, the sorrow, the regret—they were all there, written between the lines, in the spaces where words couldn’t fully capture the depth of feeling.
