I have one last request—the first, and the last. Do it for my sake.
Always on your birthday—a day when one thinks of oneself—get some roses
and put them in the vase. Do it just as others, once a year, have a Mass
said for the beloved dead. I no longer believe in God, and therefore I
do not want a Mass said for me. I believe in you alone. I love none but
you. Only in you do I wish to go on living—just one day in the year,
softly, quietly, as I have always lived near you. Please do this, my
darling, please do it. . . . My first request, and my last. . . .
Thanks, thanks. . . . I love you, I love you. . . . Farewell. . . .
