LEGACY LETTER WRITTEN BY PIETER ON NOVEMBER 5, 2020, FOR WHEN HE WOULD NO LONGER BE WITH ME.
HAD TO OPEN IT ON THE DAY OF HIS DEATH...
BUT I TOOK IT WITH ME TO SAVANNAH MEMORIAL FOR MY SECOND SURGERY TO HAVE SOMETHING FROM HIM NEAR ME... HE COULD NOT VISIT ME, HARDLY CONVERSE VIA PHONE... (due to his hearing problem).
November 5, 2020
Dear Mariet; my everything for almost 40 years?
I can't tell you anymore how much I've always admired you. As two people of different character and age, we obviously sometimes had differences of opinion, but true love on both sides always provided a peaceful solution.
Also, I can't tell you anymore how much I've always loved you, but I don't have to, it showed every day we were together.
Both of us are not the type of so many words, not sweety, darling etc., but more no–nonsense individuals; no lame talk but do something.
I think there are few couples who have lived and worked together practically every day of our togetherness so intensely.
In general, they were beautiful and productive years.
We tried to be good to people as well as to other people's children.
In addition, we have made many friends all over the world. We have both always given everything in our work and we leave something behind in the form of the book, which you have also worked on with heart and soul.
We had our own little family, with Mauzie (Dachshund girl) and our furry babies (kitties) who, like us, enjoyed our paradise like spots in Georgia.
For years I prayed in silence that I might live a little longer; so that I could be with you a little longer, and still do something for you.
Unfortunately, the body no longer wants to listen so well to my spirit, but still let me, together with you, still ride a bike.
My body has now given up, but my spirit remains, not only in your memory, but also from the afterlife.
From there, together with our deceased family and friends, I hope to be able to follow you in your actions.
I will continue to follow you with love and admiration, my dearest.
Look up if you need help; there are some, along with me, who would like to help you.
I sincerely hope that you continue to live for a good number of years, together with friends (and babies) and live on the many and beautiful memories, until we are together again.
Forever; your Pieter
Yes, we both did form a unity, inter–subjectivity from the start.
