BECAUSE HE LOVED ME: A STORY
OF THE TRANSFORMATIVE
POWER OF LOVE
JULY 2025
Fairytales, Prince Charming, and happily-ever-after filled Margie’s girlhood dreams. Her love story blossoms in college when she meets a kind, inspirational, and married professor who changes her life. Frightened by their growing attraction, he sets boundaries and tells her to find someone her age.
A few years later, she meets a younger man and falls in love. When their marriage ends, Margie gives up her fairytale fantasies. She accepts that she will be alone the rest of her life.
Then a letter arrives . . .
