Hey, Guys -

I was thinking about you more than usual today and just wanted to say thanks for showing me where I needed to make some changes in my life. I'm really trying, and some really great things have been happening. I'm looking forward to seeing you when you come through the end of January. I'll tell you all about it then. (Yeah, I know, Jack... you're always in the f**king cold...)

I'm really enjoying the music you sent - thanks for that.

I've got some more questions about my trip in July. I want to use that same campsite of yours by the bridge and I'm still not clear about where I turn off. Can you maybe draw me a map?

Give my love to Bobby and the girls.

You're on my mind every day, and will always be in my heart, but you know that. And I love you both (but you know that, too.)

See you soon. We've got a lot to talk about.

Tamarack

Thanks for bringing this thread back today, Chrissi.  I loved Meryl's poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay.  Here's another, sad favorite poem.




Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone.
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead,
Put crépe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song,
I thought that love would last forever: 'I was wrong'

The stars are not wanted now, put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

~~W.H. Auden

I still find it heartbreaking that Ennis signs the postcard with 'Ennis del Mar'. What other Ennis would Jack have known?

:'( :'( :'(

This struck me the same way at first, SdSSS. But I've found it a  common practice  among young and under-educated adults not skilled in letter writing to do this. On second reading I found it sweet somehow. For what it's worth, I believe Annie for the thousandth  zillionth  :-* time demonstrated her total understanding of her characters.

But isn't that part of the wonder of Brokeback? Even a simple signature opens our hearts and set our minds to thinking.
Again, just my take on it. Not more valid than yours or anyone else's.
