Financial consultant.

Recently divorced.

21

00:
04:18,196 -- 00:04:20,706

Did you notice the way

he ate his pancakes?

22

00:
04:21,238 -- 00:04:23,198

He took his time on every bite.

23

00:
04:24,488 -- 00:04:25,558

Get a grip.

24

00:

You know what they say about

tall, lanky men, don't you?

25

They have enormous feet.

26

00:
04:32,862 -- 00:04:33,822

Morning.

27

00:
04:34,196 -- 00:04:37,746

l happen to know he's going

to the theater today, a matinee.

28

00:
04:38,362 -- 00:04:40,242

l think l'll take the harbor tour.

29

00:
06:03,192 -- 00:06:04,542

''Dear Catherine:

30

00:
06:04,859 -- 00:06:07,579

l'm sorry l haven 't talked to you

in so long.

31

00:
06:08,067 -- 00:06:10,107

l feel l've been lost...

32

00:
06:10,442 -- 00:06:13,032

...no bearings, no compass.

33

00:
06:13,400 -- 00:06:17,280

l kept crashing into things, a little

crazy, l guess.

34

00:
06:18,775 -- 00:06:21,415

l've never been lost before.

35

00:
06:21,858 -- 00:06:23,928

You were my true north.

36

00:
06:25,317 -- 00:06:28,787

l could always steer for home

when you were my home.

37

00:
06:29,567 -- 00:06:32,797

Forgive me for being so angry

when you left.

38

00:
06:33,191 -- 00:06:35,751

l still think

some mistake's been made...

39

00:
06:36,108 -- 00:06:38,748

...and l'm waiting for God

to take it back.

40

00:
06:42,524 -- 00:06:44,404

But l'm doing better now.

41

00:
06:44,733 -- 00:06:46,533

The work helps me.

42

00:
06:47,733 -- 00:06:50,373

Most of all, you help me.

43

00:
06:51,857 -- 00:06:54,737

You came into my dream last night

with that smile...

44

00:
06:55,107 -- 00:06:57,387

... that always held me

like a lover...

45

00:
06:57,732 -- 00:06:59,802

...rocked me like a child.

46

00:
07:01,899 -- 00:07:03,889

All l remember from the dream...

47

00:
07:04,232 -- 00:07:05,982

...is a feeling of peace.

48

00:
07:12,107 -- 00:07:13,747

l woke up with that feeling...

49

00:
07:14,065 -- 00:07:17,055

...and tried to keep it alive

as long as l could.

50

00:
07:17,898 -- 00:07:21,648

l'm writing to tell you that

l'm on a journey toward that peace.

51

00:
07:22,565 -- 00:07:26,035

And to tell you l'm sorry

about so many things.

52

00:
07:28,064 -- 00:07:31,024

l'm sorry l didn 't take

better care of you...

53

00:
07:31,398 -- 00:07:35,438

...so you never spent a minute

being cold or scared or sick. ''

54

00:
07:41,397 -- 00:07:43,867

''l'm sorry l didn't

try harder to find the words. . .

55

00:
07:44,231 -- 00:07:45,901

. . .to tell you what l was feeling.

56

00:
07:46,230 -- 00:07:48,380

l'm sorry l never fixed

the screen door.

57

00:
07:48,730 -- 00:07:49,920

l fixed it now.

58

00:
07:50,230 -- 00:07:52,030

l'm sorry l ever fought with you.

59

00:
07:54,772 -- 00:07:57,052

l'm sorry l didn't apologize more.

60

00:
07:57,397 -- 00:07:58,797

l was too proud.

61

00:
07:59,105 -- 00:08:01,465

l'm sorry l didn't

bring you more compliments. . .

62

00:
08:01,813 -- 00:08:04,963

. . .on everything you wore and

every way you fixed your hair.

63

00:
08:05,396 -- 00:08:07,826

l'm sorry l didn't hold on to you

with so much strength. . .

64

00:
08:08,188 -- 00:08:10,388

. . .that even God

couldn't pull you away. ''

65

00:
08:10,730 -- 00:08:12,640

Signed, ''All my love, G. ''

66

00:
08:14,771 -- 00:08:16,281

That is so sad.

67

00:
08:16,938 -- 00:08:18,768

lt's not that. lt's just. . .

68

00:
08:19,604 -- 00:08:20,404

. . .so honest.

69

00:
08:21,271 -- 00:08:24,151

This could be hundreds of years old.

70

00:
08:24,521 -- 00:08:26,351

lt's typed, Alva.

71

00:
08:31,562 -- 00:08:32,552

Pretty good.

72

00:
08:32,854 -- 00:08:34,524

Meaning you wish you'd written it.

73

00:
08:34,854 -- 00:08:36,734

l'd have e-mailed her.

74

00:
08:37,187 -- 00:08:39,017

Anyway, l know what you wish.

75

00:
08:39,354 -- 00:08:41,664

You wish it had been addressed

''Dear Theresa. ''

76

00:
08:42,853 -- 00:08:44,843

Come on now, Charlie. . .

77

00:
08:45,187 -- 00:08:47,857

. . .any girl would want

to be loved like that.

78

00:
08:48,228 -- 00:08:50,428

To be somebody's ''true north''?

79

00:

Are you kidding?
