Description

John sat on the beach, watching the waves crash against the shore. He was 80 years old now, and his wife, Mary, had passed away a few years ago. He had come to this beach every year since they got married, and now he came here to remember her.

John and Mary had met in college and fell in love at first sight. They got married right after graduation and had a beautiful wedding. They were inseparable for many years, and they built a happy life together. They had two children, a son and a daughter, and they raised them with love and care.

But then, something changed. John started working long hours at his job, and he was always stressed and tired. He didn't have as much time for Mary as he used to, and they started to grow apart. They argued more and more, and eventually, they decided to get a divorce.

John was devastated when he and Mary got divorced. He regretted not spending more time with her and not cherishing their relationship more. He tried to win her back, but it was too late. She had moved on with her life, and she didn't want to get back together with him.

John had been divorced for 40 years now, but he still thought about Mary every day. He missed her terribly. He regretted not putting his family first. He regretted letting her go.

One day, John was cleaning out his attic when he found a letter from Mary. It was a letter that she had written to him on the day of their divorce. He had never read it before, but now he felt ready to.

John opened the letter and began to read.

Dearest John,

I'm so sorry that we've come to this. I never thought that we would get a divorce. I love you more than anything in the world.

But we've grown apart. We're not the same people we were when we fell in love. You're always working, and you don't have time for me or the kids. We never spend time together anymore.

I can't live like this anymore. I need to be with someone who loves me and who wants to spend time with me. I need to be with someone who puts me first.

I'm leaving you today. I'm taking the kids with me. I don't know where we're going to go, but I know that it will be better than this.

I'm so sorry for hurting you, John. But I have to do this for myself and for the kids.

Love always, Mary

John finished reading the letter and tears streamed down his face. He realized that Mary had been right. He had put his job first, and he had neglected his family. He had lost the love of his life because of it.

John stood up and walked to the edge of the beach. He looked out at the ocean and took a deep breath. He knew that he couldn't change the past, but he could learn from his mistakes. He decided that he would spend the rest of his life cherishing his family and friends. He would never take them for granted again.

John turned and walked away from the beach. He knew that he would never forget Mary, but he also knew that he had to move on with his life. He had to find happiness again, even if it was without her.
