She had become use to my routine of anxiously checking the mail, so at exactly three-thirty, she automatically walked out to get the day’s post for me.
“Mama,” she called out as she walked back towards me, waving the mail in her hand, “There’s something for you!”
I immediately sat up as she placed the precious light green envelope in my hand. It was a thick one. I smiled, willing myself not to impatiently tear it open.
“Thanks, baby,” I told her, dropping a kiss on her forehead.
“You’re not going to read it? It might be from Mummy!”
“Maybe, and if it is, I’ll definitely tell you. But for now, I just want to spend some time with my little girl,” I replied as I tickled her and she burst out into a fit of girly giggles.

Becky had gone to sleep about an hour ago; I looked at the clock, it was nearly ten. My focus turned back to the envelope which lay innocently on my bedside table. A part of me wanted to open it, yet, another relished in the fact that it was from Bette. The paper on which the letter was written was last touched by the hands of my late-wife, the love of my life, my soul mate.
I took a breath, reaching out for it and carefully tearing open the flap which had been glued down so securely.
Inside was a folded white card and a letter; I decided to read the letter first. I unfolded the delicate paper, as my eyes were met by Bette’s familiar handwriting. The tears welled up in my eyes as I began to read her words:
“Hello my darling, this is the first of six letters. I’m so glad that you went out today, it gave me some time to put this together. Today was difficult for us, I know. I’m sorry for the fit I threw this morning. I just really hate taking that medication. It makes me feel weak and as much as I hate to admit it, I hate not being in control of my own body. Thank you for talking to me calmly and making all this so much easier to bear. I know that you were always talking about expanding Dragonfly, I hope that by the time you get this letter, things will be going just as you and Alice planned it. You deserve nothing less than all the success at the one thing you love doing. But, I know you have a tendency to always overwork yourself, so, baby, I’ve planned a holiday for you; a special beach holiday on the shores of Bali! For you, Alice and Becky. I want the three of you to go and have a good time; relax and get a little sun. Remember what you promised me, no questions asked. Inside the card is the name and contact number of the travel agent I contacted. Give her my name and she’ll know the rest. Have a really wonderful time. Give Becky a kiss for me. I love you, Helena, right up to the moon and back.”

Your writing gives me a severe case of gluttonitis…I could just eat it up all day and all night and all of tomorrow! Yummy! Good stuff! I loved giggly Alice telling Hel about Dana…I loved little Becky who has moved past meatloaf to chicken and veggies…and I’m really really intrigued by this trip to Bali that will be ensuing with Tina! **Gulp**…**licking my lips**…More please and thanky, euni!
Hey there cousin, my Uncle was a cool man;) Well I am glad that Helena was finally working and that business was thriving, she was living for a reason her daughter, buss,friends and for Bette’s letters and surprises. So glad that Al mentioned Tina, she really has helped Helena and Becky and find it perfect. Really enjoyed this chapter cousin,,,,,,
Nice vacation coming up. Will we be seeing the start of HeleTina. Tilena? They have been pretty close.
ummmm Tina? It’s not a bad idea. After all she is family too. Welcome bck missed this story. Missed more Bette. Can not get over the fact that se will not see Becky growing. PPVS
Well this is progressing nicely… Tina sounded a bit reluctant so maybe she’s not feeling as strongly toward Helena as I thought. The sun and winds of Bali will weave their magic on these two I predict… More soon, Euni! :>)
some things have changed but i still think that bette is there everyday with helena PPS ive emailed u check ur inbox
Loved the update E…and of course you can abbreviate my sign on…it is lenghthy, eh (LOL). I would like an H and Tasha story…something about a pairing with Tina wouldn’t feel right…I can understand how it would happen…but it doesn’t feel right!!! As usual loved it MORE please!!!
Bette is such a romantic to even think about stuff like that while being sick. So Tina is going to join them huh, does this mean you are going to introduce us to some Heletina or will it be too soon and we might end up with some Heletash (geez that doesn’t even sound right LOL)
