Dear Rosie, I can’t believe it. Here I am at last, finally walking the Mediterranean coast. I’ve lost count of the years I’ve waited for this moment. Somehow life got in the way. And it was all good, I don’t regret a minute of it, but we forget our dreams at our peril. I know you had yours, too, and it must feel sometimes like they’re gone for good. But I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become, Rosie, of the mother you’ve been to Katie. What I once said about you is still true, there’s nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it. So keep chasing those dreams, will you, darling?
For my sake, Dad.
