Dearest Sue,
The last few days were wonderful. Although the weather is getting colder and grey and I will have to take the hammock in now for it is too cold to sleep outside, but I was happy. Really happy again after my terrible loss. I am going into town again, even to the Pony, met some good old friends... I am back to life again. I saw your sister, too, and she says hello. She looked fine.
Today, out of the blue, someone sang granny's favourite song. And that hit me right into the heart and I started crying again, just there on the market, in the middle of a crowd. I got home as soon as possible, lighted a candle for her - and for myself to comfort and spent a sad day. I guess that can happen. I feel better now that I wrote these lines to you, and I am sure I will manage a smile - maybe later today. As granny used to say: The face was given to you by birth, the smiling you have to do yourself. I will. I surely will.
When will you come and visit?
Your old friend
Malyn
Riding home
