Dear Auntie Kate:

     We've both been blessed with very exotic ,very good looks
and we seem to both have very bright ( if rather disparate)
futures....my dilemma is whether or not to let this go and get on
with my life...or to hold on despite all the odds .

     To be perfectly honest , I have no shortage of male admirers.
Two, in particular , are in love with me ,along with my cousin
...i've even told them about him , and they're perfectly willing
to wait till this is over ...they've even ( understandably) tried
to convince me that my love for him is a mistake .

      The problem is ....he's the only person i've ever loved or
been truly attracted to whether it be on a physical , mental , or
spiritual plane. the other guys i know are just as  lovely in all
respects , but when i'm with them , there's just no sense of
rightness , of belonging...of loving .I know that he ( my cousin
) feels this way too about every other girl he's ever met .

       What we've got , however , is getting too intense for me
to handle . He's willing to wait for both of us to finish our
courses and we're both trying real hard to meet up again , but
the constant worry and fear of the fact that we might lose each
other along the way and of  the future hurdles we'll have to
overcome ( both within and without the family) is killing both of us .

Oh my, what a lovely little story. And such sweet and heartfelt desperation.
Dear, take the plunge. If you do both go to good unversities you won't have
a problem building a life together where ever you wind up. Tell the nice
runners up that you think they are wonderful gentlemen, but you know where
your heart lies.

Send news dear, I'd like to hear your story.  You know, British Airways has
a direct from Gatwick to Bermuda. They do the loveliest little weddings
here - and it's a halfway meeting spot!

Oh my, I'm all a titter and flushed.  Yes, indulge in a little intensity,
then girl you get your little bottom to work building that life together!
Do finish your studies and find a location suitable for both your careers.

Oh, Oh, I do LOVE the romantic ones. (sigh.)

Your

Aunt Kate
