Dearest Saga,
I am writing down this story hoping that one day I will have the courage to talk about it with you, but if not at least you can read it. I knew Theo my whole life. He lived on the other side of the alley, three doors down. We use to play in the alley way as children . For the longest time we had crushes each other. Theo made the first move by sending me a music box for my sixteenth birthday. Before that we had always exchanged little things such as a cool looking rock, candy, etc.
After the music box we began courting. After about four years of that people were begin expecting us to get married. My mother had just had another child. The two of them were not doing very well and with nine children all spread out from the ages of nineteen to a newborn, I did not want to leave home. When Theo talk of marriage I asked him not to purpose for I did not want my mother to encourage me to leave for my sake of add any more stress to her burden with wedding plans.
A day after my twentieth birthday Theo and I got in an argument . To this day I cannot remember what it was about. But we were just both so stubborn, well not both of us, mostly just me. Theo sent me another music box for my twentieth-first birthday but I was prideful. I never answered him. I moved. I married your grandfather whom I love very much but I never forgot about Theo . I thought about him a lot. Mostly I wonder what ever happen to him. The reason I am telling you all this is because I need to tell someone. Besides I hope that you learn a few things from my mistakes. You do not have to keep this story a secret, it is up to you to tell whomever you want. I love you very, very much Saga May.
With Love ,
Your Mama May
