Silent Widnes

This is a contribution from Meravie, taken from the letters page of the Liverpool Echo. Here you can see the anger of the pointless letter writer who has just been pushed that little bit too far.

For the love of God, please stop saying Widnes.

Dear "Uncle" I never want to see you again. Really. I don't like you. What you did was wrong with a capital "W". My mother, one of the bravest woman I know, wants to "forgive you". She says at her church forgive means to take a way the power someone has over you. I'm going to call it detachment and choose to never speak with you or associate with you. Not that I've contacted you in the last 14 years. You know, you could say you really changed things for my mom. When sharing with people at church what you did to her, she became more confident and less shy. She's become a leader and I'm happy for her. But I'm not giving you credit. I'm never going to forgive you. I'm so scared for what's going to happen when your mom dies. What's going to happen? Also, you're my "godfather". Now I'm not Catholic as I "was" when that was decided, so I don't care about that so much. Just that fact that in my baby book it says your name. Can I just cross you out with a big red X? You know, before we knew the truth of what you did, my father liked you. He says he got along well with you. There's a picture of you two grilling hamburgers. I remember going over your house one day and I watched Airbud. I have not watched this movie since. I'm really worried that one day we'll be visiting my maternal grandmother and you'll be there too.
