Letters To Daryll

She wrote him a letter:
“Dear Daryll. I have been missing you so much. I don’t know what has come over me. I know that you and I have been together for so long and our love will last for ages. I have to remind me of that sometimes with how far away you are…but I know we can withstand anything. All my love Baby…”

She wrote him a letter:
“Dear Daryll. All these weeks and I sometimes still hear your voice when I wake up. Some times I even smell your cologne in the bathroom. I know that you are alright, but the woman in me is a constant worrier! I remember you used to always tell me what a worrier I am. I just wanted you to know that everything here is fine and you are missed. I wanted you to know that you are my shining star. All my love Baby…”

She wrote him a letter:
“Dear Daryll. Today is our anniversary!! I was looking in our album and I couldn’t help but smile at the picture we took in Jamaica. The one with you holding me tight, but you being you, you have two fingers behind me making rabbit ears? I was no mad when I went to the photo place and saw that! You can never let an opportunity for a joke to go by! I am here loving you and I want you to know I am not going any where. All my love Baby…

She wrote him a letter:
“Dear Daryll. The funniest thing happened today. Ms. Rangler, you know the lady next door? Well she asked me how I was doing. I know, that’s no big deal. But when I told her I was fine, she gave me this weird look. I mean who looks at you funny when they hear good news. So she looks at me with this odd look and then she asks me if I am sure! I mean I think I know if I am fine or not. I was getting a little annoyed and told her I was fine again and walked back into the house. The weirdest part was that when I looked back out of the window, she was looking at our door. She kinda shook her head and then walked up her path to her house. I don’t know what that was all about, but I think I will be keeping my distance from Ms. Rangler. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that other than that, all is well…and I miss you so much. All my love Baby…”

She wrote him a letter:
“Dear Daryll. I know things are rough over there, but I haven’t heard from you for awhile. I mean I know that it must be hard to write, since you do so much already, but I am starting to worry more and more. That and the way people are starting to act around here. It’s like everyone is looking at me strange and asking me the craziest questions. How are things getting along? Is everything okay? Do you need anything?...I am getting pretty upset! I know what you are going to say. Don’t worry about what other people think. They aren’t what’s important…I know baby, I know…but not hearing from you and then this whole thing here. I am just worried that’s all. I am missing you. All my love Baby…”

She wrote him a letter:
“Dear Daryll.
I am not doing to well.
I am hearing things from people.
They are whispering when I am around.
They don’t want to look at me.
I don’t understand.
Ms. Rangler tried to come over the other day. She was knocking on the door, but I wouldn’t let her in. She kept saying that everything would be fine and that she was here to help me! I am trying not to be afraid…please write me and tell me what to do! Please! All my love Baby…”

She wrote him a letter:
“DARYLL!
They came for me! I hid. I am writing to you because you may not get a letter from me for a while. I have to hide. It is not safe here anymore. Maybe it has to do with why I haven’t heard from you in so long. They told me they wanted to speak to me about you. I told them to go away. I told them to leave me alone, but they said they would come back with authorities! What do I do Baby? I don’t know what they will do if they get me. Maybe they got you too. Maybe that’s why you can’t write to me. I am going to find somewhere else to go as soon as it is safe. I will mail this to you and then you can send me some word on what I should do next. All my love Baby…”

She wrote him a letter:
“I didn’t leave Daryll. This will be my last letter to you. They told me I could as closure. They showed me a letter Daryll. One I had opened up 6 months ago. It was addressed to me. It was from the hospital in Georgia, where you went on your trip. It was a very official letter with a very official document with it…I didn’t want to believe it. I didn’t want to. They told me that what happened wasn’t unheard of. That I was only protecting myself from something I didn’t want to know. They told me that the brain is a powerful thing and that it can do amazing tricks to protect itself. I understand now what has happened and I understand that you will not be coming back. I understand that you have been gone for awhile now and I understand that our baby is gone too. To think I couldn’t even remember we had a child together! To think I couldn’t except that you both died in that accident! That it was so painful that I erased the memory of her from my mind. That I thought you were away for work reasons…Please forgive me. I know you are gone, but they told me I would need a lot of help to get things together. I see her clothes here. I couldn’t see them before. Pictures of us together…she wasn’t there before. I see her now. I am letting you go. I am letting her go so that I can get better. Please forgive me. All my love Baby…All my love Daryll.”
