11 (Say hello to Stepford Silva.)-Backdated to the 19th

[ The following is written in very neat, maybe even familar handwritting.]

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my friends and neighbours a very merry Christmas. Whilst the circumstances of my own personal life have been very trying with my wife of eight years chosing to leave me as she has ...I will not let that define me as a person.

The good lord has seen fit to test my faith and I shall not waver. I will use my strength to be a better Christian and friend to my neighbours. For as it says in the bible.

Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."

So remember my friends ...  just like the lord I am here for you with everlasting love.

Mr Silva.

Mr Silva, thank you for that stirring reminder of what this season..what community truly means.

The loss of my own husband was a blow I thought to never recover from, and in some ways I've come to realize we never fully do, not as we were. But please believe me when I say to you that there is more to life and more to live then our moments of trial and pain.

I plan to attend the holiday festivities and would be very honored if I might meet with you there.

Your friend,

Mrs Peggy Rogers

I could not have written that more beautifully myself.

When we are faced with trials and heartache we can either let it defeat us, or take such scars forward with us and evolve into a better person.

Thank you Mrs Rogers. I would be delighted to meet with you.

Sometimes the scars are becoming on us, as what forges us to move ahead.

I look forward to the party and your company.
