4th Letter to a Future Daughter
(Thoughts of Him)
Sweetest Sofia,
I have not written to you for over a month and I miss doing so. Your mom’s fairly eccentric, am I not? As an excuse for the letter-writing caesura, I’d like to appear too engaged in other significant deeds in life and pretend that I’m even too busy to think of the man who would make a suitable father for one such as you – but no, wearing that old spinster mask now or feigning my reflections would defeat the entire purpose of my writings, and yes, he does penetrate my mind despite other things, Sweetie. Truth be told, I try to dodge these thoughts because I myself would not even wish to get married now. Not just yet. Therefore you may wonder why these notions still emerge if that is the case. Instinct, I reckon. Perhaps it comes with the package of being a woman. It could also be plain absurdity. It might also be for the reason that I drank too much espresso earlier and it’s already 3:00 a.m. yet I cannot sleep. Or maybe I have previously met someone wonderful and I simply cannot stop thinking of this great man but I’m just not telling you out of timidity. Who knows? Then again, wouldn’t it be oh so lovely and exciting to write you one day and say,
“Sweetie, I married him.”
