I didn’t want it to be like this Helen. I care about you. I trust you. I don’t think you would of have told anyone. It’s just -- I made a vow long time ago and I’m sticking to it. I won’t have someone go through the things I went through. I just can’t. Life without Peter is... amazing. The world never seemed so much bigger before. I didn't know it would feel this good. It’s crazy but I should have done it years ago. I’m joking. As I said before, things do happen for a reason. Everything I went through. The years, the separation, the betrayal, you, Judith... it was a rude awakening. I could not deny it anymore. I used to ask the lord; Why? Why did he not bless my womb? Why couldn’t my husband love me for me? I prayed every day and every night for a deliverance, and nothing seem to go my way... and then you showed up. Don’t cry, Helen. Don’t cry. Save the tears for me. I’ve been weeping for you for days now. Because I admire you. I know you serve a purpose greater than I can comprehend. It took me sometime to realize that God finally answered my prayers. He sent you here and return you brought me Judith. And now, at so much lost, my confidants, my husband and now a great friend -- strangely enough my life is complete. So, these tears are felt with pain but more for admiration. Because I see you here dying for me. You are doing this for me, Helen, and I love you for that. You are my hero, Helen. You are my Joan of Arc. And for that, I say amen. For that, I say thank you, Helen.
