MY07

Written by the author and writer of the East, Michelle Yazar. Who brings us on this occasion, this book that is made up of a series of letters sent between 29 years Eugene Myers and 31 years Patrick Stanley, both originally from London, England. During the years of World War II (1941-1945).
It all begins when Patrick was about to declare his feelings to Eugene, being called to enlist as a soldier in the British army, to fight against the nazis. This unleashes a series of events, which Eugene, through his letters, expresses along with the immense pain and gnawing fear of not seeing again,
to the one who was more than his friend; the love of him no longer platonic of him.

A love that, without a doubt, crossed all the limits that a war could impose. A passion that burned, without the slightest expiation of consummation. A distance that was the paper guillotine, before the feelings of these two desperate young people to see each other once more.
"Remembering a love", the wish of those who one day dream of being happy with the love of their life, even when the whole world turns upside down, including a world war on board.

Remembering a love

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Mrs. Raquel. I have been out of town, at home, since the war started.

I arranged with my family, to leave a part for the care of the fallen, and those who were prisoners. The truth is that the pain of those we treat in this place breaks our hearts. Their stories are unfortunate, so much so that they want them to return to their homes.

In the following words, I will convey Captain Patrick's sentiments to you, without causing you the slightest pain. On the contrary, that this gives you hope, of the great love that he had for you:

We spent thirty days, in the captain's care. The pain caused by his wounds and the limitation with which he was left in the field, where they were full of mud and few supplies they had left. Whoever refused to leave the men he was in charge of, or his responsibility to his country, were in the last days, the truce against the German army and its allies. They had the last confrontation, where few returned, but bringing the satisfaction of rescuing several prisoners. The truth is that the captain was seriously injured, losing his right hand and his sight, but things were not favorable for him; Him being disabled, with great loss of blood. The doctor did everything possible for him and his best soldier, who died hours later, leaving his beloved wife.

Madam, the captain's last hours were for you. Of the love that he kept for her, until the last minutes of his life. He didn't want you to see him like that, on the contrary, he wanted you to remember him as his eternal lover. That you could live his life, with the little boy that he would adopt, which would teach him the great love you have for him. He attached an amount of money for you, for the child and another amount for the orphanage.

He died quietly calling her, but first, I'll tell you what he asked me to write:

"My beloved lady, who captivated my heart...

How much I love her Always in my dreams, there was you.

I will leave you for a moment, thanking the Creator for the opportunity to have you.

Your beautiful letters, your words, which comforted me step by step.

Yes, I will leave you, but I am convinced that we will be together one day, not to be separated.

I love you as never before, and I say goodbye to you, my love.

Closing his eyes, looking out the window, clinging to his photo and the many letters he left written for you, dear lady, that's how it was.

The captain's body was left in the cemetery of this beautiful place, which epitaph was written: "My love is eternal as the day."

Miss, I hope these words comfort you, and if you wish to visit the place where the captain was buried, we will be attentive.
