S31 56. Last Sentence from Rowan

“Grandma?” Frank called softly. “Are you okay?”

Diana shook her head slowly. Her index finger was half raised. “Is this… from your grandfather?”

Frank nodded. “Grandpa left this album and letter for you. Do you need my help to read it?”

With slow movements, Diana opened the envelope. As soon as the contents of the letter were seen, her eyes closed. Her fingers

trembled even more violently.

tears still fell.

“Diana,” Frank began to read the old-fashioned writing, “I knew you wondering why I wrote you this letter. Maybe you’re happy becaus died first. I thought that I would be happy if you died first. But turn out, I was wrong.”

Frank glanced at Diana briefly. The old woman was still trying to

contain her emotions.

“I’m not annoyed at all that you read my will. I’m actually relieved, I can express everything without having to hide from you.”
