Merrick, dear,

I know your faith is important to you, but isn't there a distinction between undaunted faith in God and rigid adherence to rules of a particular church? We are human, we make mistakes, we have mistakes made to and about us. To say now that you'll never be with another soul is denying you the love and happiness that is our right as human beings, as human beings that believe in a reason for existence. Why shouldn't you marry again? You are a wonderful soul, full of life and love, and why shouldn't you share that with someone should someone come along in the future? Because some church says it isn't right? Do you think Jesus would have made such rigid rules?

Just a thought, because it makes me really sad to hear you say that. I think there's someone out there (and maybe it's your W, after she exorcizes the alien within) worthy of you, worthy of a lifetime of love and honor.

My .02.

Jennifer
