Dear John,


I send this letter in hopes of renewing my love for you in your absence. I have had many sleepless nights, tossing and turning, longing for you by my side. Sadly, I know that will never be again physically, but your spirit still dwells deep inside me, now and forever. I grow weary nowadays pondering why you had to leave me so.


Through past transgressions, I had thought it nearly impossible to forgive you for what you had done and how you had treated me as your wife and soul mate. However, I have realized the error of my ways also, and I recognize I was wrong in rejecting your repentance. Now that you have fatefully departed from my life, I am deeply sorrowful as I witnessed a change in your character that warrants strong acclaim. It brings me great pleasure to know that you died a noble death for a cause greater than yourself. I am proud to be the wife of a man who is so forthright and steadfast in his convictions. I will forever stand by you in just the same way you stood for your beliefs.

Now that you have been taken from me, I long for your warmth and comfort more than ever. I love you, John, and the feelings I have towards you today will carry on until the end of time. Writing this letter brings up such wonderful memories of our life together, and it seems as though you are in this room with me now. I will never forget your brave actions and neither will those that you saved. Though we had our differences at times, my life never would have been the same without you. I give you my soul, John, as you have given yours.


Your forever loving wife,

Elizabeth Proctor
