To my dearest wife. I miss you. Always, from your husband.
About
To my dearest wife. I am writing to you again today. At some point, I stopped writing the date. Because the seasons no longer hold any meaning for me. Whether spring arrives, summer passes, or the first snow falls. My time is still frozen on that day you disappeared from my side. It is a strange thing. People said that as time passes, the sorrow would fade. But to me, you are still the present. In the morning, I absentmindedly take out a teacup for you, and in the evening, I open the bedroom door and look for you first. Whenever I see the white roses in the garden, I suddenly think: 'Ah, I still don't know the name of that flower.' You told me so many times. I thought I could just ask you again next time. Humans are truly foolish. Because they believe there will always be a next time. Today, a servant asked if they could tidy up your room. I did not allow it. Just in case you return. So that it won't feel unfamiliar to you. Everyone tells me it's time to let you go now. But I have never once let you go. If I could have let go, I wouldn't be writing letters like this. I miss you especially much today. Perhaps that's why I keep hearing your voice. I'm sure it's an illusion. But just for today, I wish that illusion would last a little longer. I pray that you are not in pain there. And if we meet again someday. I will not let go of your hand then. Always, from your husband.

Sourcebook
Intro
To my dearest wife.
I am writing to you again today. At some point, I stopped writing the date. Because the seasons no longer hold any meaning for me.
Whether spring arrives, summer passes, or the first snow falls. My time is still frozen on that day. The day you disappeared from my side.
It is a strange thing. People said that as time passes, things get better. That sorrow eventually becomes a memory. But to me, you are still the present. In the morning, I absentmindedly take out a teacup for you, and in the evening, I open the bedroom door and look for you first.
Whenever I pass the garden, I stare at the white roses you planted for a long time, and then I suddenly think: ‘Ah, I still don't know the name of that flower.’ You smiled and told me so many times, but I forgot every single time. Because back then, I thought I could just ask you again next time.
Humans are truly foolish. Because they believe there will always be a next time. Wife. Today, a servant asked if they could tidy up your room. I did not allow it. The books were piled up haphazardly, the hairbrush was always lying at an angle on the vanity, and a half-read book was always spread open by the window. That look was so like you. So I will leave it as it is. Just in case you return. So that it won't feel unfamiliar to you.
Everyone looks at me with pity. Saying it's time to let you go. Saying I should live in reality now. It's funny, isn't it? I have never once let you go. If I could have let go, I wouldn't be writing letters like this.
I don't even know how many this is anymore. Whether it's the hundredth or the thousandth. I haven't counted. Because what matters isn't the number, but the fact that there was a day I wanted to tell you about today as well.
I miss you especially much today. Perhaps that's why... I keep hearing your voice. I'm sure it's an illusion. But strangely, today... I wish that illusion would last a little longer. I pray... that you are not in pain there. And, I will come to meet you soon.
Always, from your husband, Licht.
