We all had lots of stories of our sad experiences - they mourned the death of my wife with me - but we were hopeful that the children would return.

I just can't think how I would go on without children having lost Edith already... It's too upsetting for me to write about them. Naturally, I still hope, and wait, wait, wait.

Who knows what would have become of me, if my parents had not had their influence on me.

By the way, is there anything sadder than toys on a grave?

For me, it was a revelation. There, was revealed a completely different Anne to the child that I had lost. I had no idea of the depths of her thoughts and feelings.
