I wish you could have joined me.  You’d love it here.

It’s never cold, so you wouldn’t need your little blanket.

I still think of all our time together, and it’s really the only thing I miss.

Everything here reminds me of what we did together.

Eternally yours

“What are my choices?”

“The world’s strongest. mightiest man, the world’s smartest man, or Sister Mary-Hortense, of Jesus-Our-Savior-From-On-High.”

“I choose Nun of the Above.”
