Her Vow of Silence
Ellis,
Our connection was unbelievable, was.
But you believe everyone experiences sadness; that I just need to knuckle down and fight it off. I’ve tried and I can’t do it anymore. When I tried to find help, I’d see your face when you warned me that you’d never forgive me if the kids got taken away and I couldn’t dial the number. Silence is the answer, and there is only one way for true commitment.
I love you all.
Rebecca

The note was crumpled when Ellis hugged his children; his eyes never left her body until it was gone.
Sad, poignant - good stuff.
