EVERYTHING I'VE SAID HERE IS TRUE. I COULD'VE
TOLD YOU THAT WE GAVE EVERY BIT OF THE MONEY TO
CHARITY, BUT WE DIDN'T. LAST JANUARY WE FLEW TO
EUROPE AND AROUND THE WORLD. [REDACTED] WANTED
TO SEE THE WORLD BEFORE HE DIED. THAT WAS THE LAST
TRIP WE EVER TOOK TOGETHER.
HIS LAST [REDACTED] DAYS WERE SPENT COMPLETELY BEDRIDDEN.
DISEASE KNAWING HIS INSIDES OUT AND PAIN [guess: SHOOTING] THROUGH
HIS BODY, HE NEVER ONCE LOST HIS COURAGE. THE ONLY DAY
HE MISSED AN ENTRY IN HIS DIARY WAS THE DAY HE PASSED
AWAY. I THINK YOU WILL BE INTERESTED IN HIS LAST
WRITTEN WORDS.
.... REALLY WENT TODAY.... MOTHER CAME BY THIS
MORNING. I LOVE HER.... LIFE BUT SO IMPORTANT THAT I
SHOULD IGNORE DEATH, NOR VICE VERSA. ALL MY LIFE I
HAVE DENIED DEATH THE ATTENTION HE NOW DEMANDS.
BEFORE THAT HE TAKE ME, THAN THE LIFE FROM ANYONE
ELSE.....
EVEN ON THE VERGE OF DEATH, [REDACTED] WAS
THINKING OF OTHERS.
