Dear Emmet,

You had past so suddenly that I just couldn't accept it. Thinking the lookalike within the coffin was a fake imposter. There for the soul purpose of tormenting us.

I'm ashamed that it took me this long to finally accept it. I wish you had taken me with you for every moment we are apart I feel alone in this world. My soul feels bare and venerable in your passing.

It has been one year since your funeral. 365 days ago you were buried, leaving 4 children and a wife behind.

I've heard from Andrea that Alex has finally taken over the job of managing the Dukedom. He has 4 more years to go before he can officially take over as a Duke. You must be so proud.

Helms has picked up swordsmanship, I would occasionally see him from my bedroom window in the garden. He had always like those flowers.

Petunia and Lilith are now taking etiquette classes. I remember when you wanted to start them earlier but I refused. I'm sorry you had to deal with such a fussy wife. They'll grow beautifully.

Love, Mary
