Pismo mog dragog muza, Mije.

Pisac: Ivka Gudelj.

Kad umrem, molim vas nemojte plakati niti tugovati, jer ja neću mira imati u mom viječnom domu. Nego molim vas, nasmij te se i veselite se, pa će meni lakše biti.  Ja nisam na ovome svijetu više mogao živjeti.

Hvala svima koji ste zvali, pričali samnom, sa Ivkom i pitali za moje stanje.  Hvala sestrima i rodbini na razgovore iz Hrvatkse. Hvala na posjetima koje su me obradovale. Svaka pažnja prema meni, bila je velika utjeha Ivki i Ivanu.  Osobito se zahvaljivam svima, koji ste me otpratili u moj vječni dom.

Hvala na svaki dokaz vaše pažnje i ljubavi. Pa vas zato molim, nemojte plakati ni tugovati, time će te ublažiti moju bol i olakšati moj odlazak u moj vječni dom.

Letter from my dear husband, Mijo.

Author: Ivka Gudelj.

When I die, please don’t shed tears for me or remain sorrowful, or I will not be at peace in my eternal home.  Rather I ask that you laugh, be joyful, & live your lives. My body could no longer live in this life.

Thank you for the phone conversations & calls about my well-being.  I thank my sisters & relatives for phone calls from Croatia.  Visitations by family & friends brightened my day. Every act of kindness softened Ivka & Ivan’s heartache.  I especially thank all, who escorted me to my final resting place & supported Ivka & Ivan during their unbearable loss.

I repeat once more: don’t mourn for me, so that I may rest in peace,

Mijo Gudelj
