The Interview
The channel along with John arranged an interview and reached the nursery he was residing. When they got there, Bruce was overjoyed to see them and greeted them with a bright smile but he couldn’t hide the tears which were constantly rolling down his cheeks. John too, who had discarded the existence of true love became emotional.
The Alliance
As the team sat for the interview and Bruce started to recall their marriage. He said it was the best alliance ever. They had never fought or argued on anything before. Even if they had a little argument it would not even last till the next morning. They were head over heels in love with each other and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together but fate wanted something else.
An Unforgettable Event
At the age of 43, an unfortunate event took place when Betty met with a fatal car accident which resulted in the loss of her life. It was devasting for Bruce who was 41 when betty died and it took him several years to get over it. But he tried to be strong to support his kids and family. It had been years since then still the bruises were unhealed.
Coping With The Loss
It was so difficult for him to cope with the loss of his wife that even after moving out of the city he couldn’t get over with what he had lost. “I don’t know how I did it,” he had said to John who was thinking about his relationship with his wife and where they went wrong. The love could be still seen in Bruce’s eyes as fresh as before.
A Time Capsule!
So when John and the news team handed him the envelope, he was expecting it to be some love letters that she might have written for his upcoming birthday before she left him in the agony of her death. He knew Betty was always fond of writing so he expectantly opened the letter but the content of the letter startled him. They were not just an ordinary bunch of papers but a time capsule that she had written to the future generation when she was 33 years old.
Reading It Loud
“The Vietnam War is still going on,” he read out loud in Betty’s familiar handwriting. “Racial situation very serious. Boys have long hair resulting from the Beatle craze,” some of the letters inside read, reflecting upon her interest in politics and pop culture. She used to be enthusiastic about what was happening globally and took a keen interest in every decision that the government was taking.
