Epilogue: The Final Entry

"Dearest Susanne,

My susanne! You of the most gentlest, sweetest heart

that ever beat within a living being! I am too late:

Your spirit has already departed earth.

Today, with my heart weary and broken

I unite your letters with mine between the pages of your diary

I write this final entry to thank you for giving me little michiel;

he is everything a father could wish for

You shall live on through him

I shall treasure him always, as I treasure your memory

Goodbye, my sweet Susanne

Yours always, until the end of days,

-Joseph"

I see his starry eyes

He heals my broken heart

Through him

You'll always be by my side

I hear you call my name

It fades to silence when I wake

A moment lost in time

And now the moment's gone

And now the moment's gone

But the memory lives on

Your memory... Lives on
