Subject: Another blow... I am reeling with shock!

Those of you that have read my story, know that though I am separated from my wife, I still love her and have been faithful to her despite the problems we have faced. Now I must face a new set of challenges. I must be strong for her. She called me yesterday. She needs me.

Rhonda, my wife of 16 years... is dying. Her heart has hardened from the long history of high blood pressure in her family. All attempts to correct the problem have failed. There is only one recourse remaining... open heart surgery. Should the surgery's outcome be successful, many years of a fruitful life will be her reward. But the surgery is risky. And the road to recovery will be long and trying. If she chooses not to have the surgery; she has less than a year to live. Rhonda is only 46.

The choice seems easy enough; just accept the surgery. But here lies some more complications. First, as some of you already know, Rhonda foolishly invested her money into a business whose owner squandered it and left her high and dry. She is seeking a judgement against this person, but Rhonda doubts that she will ever recover any of her money. Her future financiallly looks bleak.

Second, last week her father died of a massive heart attack. Rhonda is in grief from losing a father who never loved his children. A father who abandoned his kids when her mother died. A father who moved over two hundred miles away and started a new family just to forget the pain of failure from the past one. For he beat his wife to death; she died of a heart attack that he could not deal with his guilt. And left the kids to wonder what's next. Still they loved him... and now he's dead. All hopes of restoration are gone. Their dreams of recovery died with him.

Last, most recent, Rhonda was raped last week by two kids who lived right across the street from her. Oh they did not get away with it. One is in police custody and the other is on the run. He is badly injured as Rhonda clawed his face and ripped his left cheek right down to the bone. Sooner or later, he will have to seek medical attention. And when he does, the police say they will nab him.

Rhonda wants to die. She has chosen not to have the surgery. She is currently making final preparations for after her death. Her dying wish is that she may one day play the piano that she once loved and cherished. I will do what I can to provide her one. And when she dies... maybe then, she will finally find peace from the horrors in this life.

Respectfully yours,

Jonathan
