Virginia's Farewell Letter to Her Husband

'Dearest, I feel certain I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that - everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer.

I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been.

V.'

Oh meu caro, obrigada uma vez mais pela referencia a esta senhora tão extraordinária. Tornei a ver o filme, como só podia. É um texto lindo e apesar de uma carta de suicidio é linda. Uma das melhores declarações de amor.

Obrigada mais uma vez e aqui fica o link do meu blog para quem queira dar um olhito http://thelovetheyearsthehours.blogspot.com/
