Dear Dr.

Thank you for taking me
to Sarah's grave. I am so thrilled
that you would let me share such a
deep and personal thing with you.
You are the only person in the world
today that I really love enough to
want such closeness with. I've
loved a few other people that are no longer
here so this feeling is not new to
me. And I recognize it easily.
Dear Dr. I have been writing letters
to you for 15 yrs and never mailed
one because I never wanted to intrude
on your busy life. I know how
important your time is and I've
mourned and cheered with you always.
Please try to spare me the time for
one talk before I leave.
Gratefully yours
Mae Clark
