| Deciding what to do with
Orlee's personal journals is one of the most difficult decisions
I have ever faced. As with everything else, I try to understand
what Orlee would want. I know she would not want them destroyed;
she would want them read. But I feel I can't do that, and I feel
certain that no one else should. So, I keep them with me, I am
keeping them for her. They and I expect her to come back, find
the last entry, pick up her pen and keep writing from that point
on. In the meanwhile, sometimes, when it feels right, I randomly
open and read. I take the words and emotions as my guide: some
things I know were meant to remain unread, others I know she
would want to share. Here are just a few excerpts which I think
she would have wanted to share. |
