The Letter came a week later.
“Dear Myrtle;”
it began, which was strange for no one called her that… she wondered who wrote her this letter…
“Dear Myrtle:
All my life I had believed my father was the evil one who drove you away. All my life I loved you and wanted to be with you.
Getting enough money together, I flew to Bermuda to see you.
I have a lot to say, but won’t bother.
I am back in Jamaica. I will spend the rest of my life making up time with my father. Hoping he will forgive and understand.
Thanks for proving the kind of person you really are.
John. “:
Myrtle couldn’t believe her son could write this, balled up the letter and tossed it in the trash. She went on with her life as she always had.
