Dear John,
Dear Charlie Dad,
I don’t really know where to begin this letter. When you hugged me goodbye, you didn’t really comprehend what kind of goodbye it was. From anyone else it would be ‘goodbye, I’ll see you later’, but this wasn’t, and I’m sorry. You asked me to give you the chance to hug me goodbye, and I did, as well as I could - I just wish ( Read more... )
And I see Bella's death as first being a disappearance - not only hers but the entire Cullen families as well, but the news not reaching Charlie because of the distance between them, and then the silver volvo turning up down the side of a cliff, along with Rosalie's car, and their id's inside it. Something that doesn't seem like suicide, but a tragic accident - and the Cullen's are rich enough not to have to work for a decade or so, really. I guess I see it as Bella expressing that she knew she was going to disappear with the Cullen's, and never see him again (Which is what Charlie takes it as), and that it's just a tragic accident that occurs along the way.
And I know the last part isn't overly realistic, but Bella asked Charlie not to cry for her - the last thing she asked him, and I see Charlie trying his damnedest to make sure he doesn't. But don't get me wrong - he cried a lot when he first heard the news, and a lot more when he got her letter - but he cried himself out, and set his resolve not to cry again - somewhat like Bella, when she turned Zombie like over Edward in New Moon. the two are a lot alike after all - Charlie, being older, just manages to hide it better, until it grows less and less with time.
