Please DO NOT read Lew’s journal, burn it unopened, with honors.

It was a tool being used in confidence, by someone who shared the rest of his life and soul with you. You know exactly what was shared between you both, because you could talk if something was misunderstood.

But, a personal journal is one of those types of tools that are just that – very personal. Unlike a blog that the author understands is being shared with the world, a journal can contain anything, the best and the worst of a person’s inner thoughts and feelings. Journals are a written conversation between an author and themself, no one else.

Remember, a tool improperly used can cause pain.

And if you read the journal now, Lew will never have the chance to explain something written down, if you misunderstand what it really says, and you may never have to chance to undo a hurt never intended.
