[Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] Dear Clare, I hope this letter finds you well, though I must admit my heart is heavy as I write to you. I've witnessed the complexity of your life as you navigate the delicate threads of passing for white. There’s a silver lining to it—I admire your courage to forge a life that many would find enviable—but it leaves me with a peculiar sense of unease. As I think of our past, a bittersweet nostalgia envelops me; I've always cherished our bond, yet your choice casts a shadow over it. Last week, meeting your husband was a jarring experience. The tension was palpable, the air thick with unspoken words, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of discomfort that coursed through me as his casual prejudices spilled forth. It felt as though his ignorance was a mirror reflecting the very struggles we both have faced, but he’s blind to that reality. It pains me to see you wrapped in such an environment. Clare, I urge you to reconsider the compromises you’re making by surrounding yourself with those who cannot appreciate the richness of our shared heritage. It is crucial for you to stay true to who you are, lest you lose the beautiful essence that makes you Clare. I believe that embracing your identity fully could bring you a sense of peace and authenticity that you might not even realize you’re missing. Please take care of yourself, and remember that I am here for you, always. With all my love, Irene
