Dear Mutale,

It's been a cruel year without you. I am still haunted by the memories of you, from the day I first saw you trimming the rose bushes at St Ignatius Parish to the day I watched the life leave your body. I grieve as much today as I did the day your casket was lowered into the ground because you took half a piece of my heart with you. The other half is with our dear daughter.

Over the years, I haven't grown a single plant on the soil of this house. It was once a home but without you or our child in it, it's hollow and eery. I often dream of putting myself out of this misery on a number of occasions, but I am too selfish to join you. I've held on to the guilty pleasure of possibly meeting our daughter one faithful day. I'm sure Mwansa is taking great care of her and I hope you're watching over her from above. Be her guiding angel and protect her from evil.

I know the initial foundation of our relationship was sinful but loving you was a blessing that resulted in our darling girl. In the eyes of Christ, I have been forgiven and made whole. I eagerly wait for our souls to reunite and until then, I will not cease to miss you.

Yours truly,

Victoria.
