I can't believe that I am making this confession to you, but I am. I saw him again last night. It was our third meeting in less than a week. I
have no idea how it got to this point so fast, but I’ve made up my mind, I love one man deeply and yet I crave, long for, adore and love another.
I cannot go on living like this, waking up next to Robert and pretending that all is the same as always has been with us. I wonder if he has notices
my absences from our bed at night, he probably wouldn’t, being the sound sleeper that he is, and if he did notice, he hasn’t mentioned anything to
me yet. I worry about him you know and I hope you will be there for him. I know that he has always loved you and sees you as a sister. So please my
sister, when the time is right and when you think he can handle, please explain to him what I’m about to tell you.
I had no intentions of ever hurting him. When I married Robert, I knew it would be for the rest of my life here on earth. God never blessed us with
a child and I always resented that, but now… now my sister, I know it was never meant to be. Shiv showed me, he showed me all the things I wanted
to see, he explained it all to me. I understand now. I know why we are here and I know that we won't always be here. I wish I could tell and show
you all what I've learned, but Shiv says you and the others are not ready yet.
Now about Shiv, I’ll call him Shiv for the purpose of explaining this to you, but his name is not something we can say or even try to pronounce.
His name is to be felt. He is so handsome sis, I know, I know, I was never the one to care about looks, Robert wasn’t the best looking guy, but I
loved him, I still love him. But Shiv is beautiful; he is as indescribable as the beauty of dew drops on rose buds. His eyes are like endless oceans
in which I only want to get lost in. I’m sorry you’ll never be able to see or meet him sis, you would love him as much as I do now.
We met last Wednesday, it was a warm night and I couldn’t sleep, so as I usually do on those nights, I took a book and cup of tea and headed for
that hammock we bought in the Bahamas, you remember that trip right? Just us girls, that was fun, anyways, you know I love that hammock, so I went to
get myself cozy and almost had a heart attack. The brightest star I had ever seen was as close to being directly overhead our backyard than any other
star I have ever seen. I stood there watching it twinkle for a long time, sometimes it changed colors and then I don’t remember exactly when I went
to the hammock and just relaxed. He came to me then, not in the glorious manner that I now know him as but as a prowler. I don’t remember being
scared, just curious as he seemed to sniff me out, shyly taking peeks at me from the corner of the house. I watched him, kind of how you watch a shy
kitten peek and slowly become more brave, brave enough to come to you lap, and so it was with us. I don’t know the numbers of hours that passed or
what was said between us because I don't think words were ever spoken. But when we touched we connected at level that I’ve never connected with
another human being before. I have never experienced such pleasure and love before, not even in all the years of marriage with Robert did I feel so
right, so good, so needed and so.. I can't think of the words anymore, I'm worse than a schoolgirl and her first crush.
We’ve spent two more nights since together and when he asked last night if I would go with him, I said yes. So sis, I ask you, my only blood
relative left, to remember me. Remember me not as the selfish woman who left her husband for promises of love beyond anything earthly possible, but
as a woman willing to follow her heart and her dreams, a woman who has finally found her purpose. I know it will be hard for Robert and you to
forgive me at first, but time heals all wounds, trust me I KNOW. And I’ll soon be forgotten, but I’ll never forget you, Robert or the people of
Earth, I’ll tell everyone I meet in our travels about you all and how wonderful and simple a life we live. Shiv says we’ll meet again for sure,
so until then sis, please take care. You probably don't even understand what I might be implying here and sis if you don't, don't worry, it' will
all be okay. Remember I know now.
Two torn out notebook pages along with an empty suitcase and a pair of flip flops were found near the hammock of Lucinda and Robert Morrow. Robert
Morrow was investigated in the disappearance of his wife Lucinda, but no charges were ever filed and the missing person case remains open to this day.
