The Diary of Maria and Elynnor

I’m trying to sleep, but I can’t close my eyes. With all these new burdens upon my shoulders, I’ll be happy to find even just a MOMENT of rest and calmness for my mind. Mr. Murren (“Albert”) just read the will to me. I am to take over basically the WHOLE Hubert Opera House and all of its departments. Sigh. I really cannot sleep right now. It’s all happening so fast. That cursed heart cancer took my Erich away from me. He has always been my partner, my best friend, my spouse, my husband, my guide, my counsellor, my advisor, my business partner, my teammate, my soulmate. I was merely a simple, doting young woman of 18 years of age when I married him. I met him a long time ago, at the very first Opera I went to. He was a performer and I was just someone in the audience.We were young and so in love. We had the Hubert Opera House built and founded together and have been a strong team since then. But now he’s gone, and I’m left to continue with his - OUR - musical legacy all on my own. First there was two, now there is only one. Erich Henrik Hubert, I will miss you forever. Think of me when you feel alone, for I will be thinking of you for every waking moment for the rest of my life. I love you, Maria.
