Dear Catherine,
I am sitting in a study in Mark’s house in a suburb of Melbourne writing this on my laptop, wondering how you are and what you are doing. That is as much as I can do with all avenues to you closed to me, as if...

Dear Catherine,
Another month has gone by and we are well into Autumn. I like this time of year, mainly because of the colour of the trees, with the displays of yellows, browns & reds, but it doesn’t last too long. After this is my least favourite time of the year...

Dear Catherine,
It doesn’t seem like 3 months since I wrote to you, because you always exist somewhere in my mind. It is difficult to express accurately how intense my memory of you is. You pop up instantly I see a young girl holding hands with her dad, like you used do...

Dear Catherine,

Dear Catherine,
Yes, I did see the photo you put on Facebook recently, you haven’t dated it, so I only know it must have appeared in the last few weeks. It is nice to see you by yourself. I like that you are looking directly at the camera, not in a cheeky or evasive way...

Dear Catherine,
I was so happy you changed your profile picture on Facebook last week, as it has been the same for over 4 months. I thought maybe you had given up on Facebook and you slipped completely out of my field of vision. In this image you look attractive and...
