‘Marry My Husband’ Letter From Dying Author Who Dreamed of South African Holiday Goes Viral

The exquisitely-penned letter from a dying children’s author, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, has gone viral. The poignant message of love was published by The New York Times on Friday… and has since made headlines around the world.

In the letter Amy says that just as her third and final child left home, and she looked forward to being free and travelling the world… starting with a holiday to South Africa with her husband and parents… she discovered she had ovarian cancer.

“So many plans instantly went poof. No trip with my husband and parents to South Africa,” she says.

Amy’s letter amounts to an ode to her husband and a 26-year marriage well lived and loved… although its purpose, she says, is to introduce her husband to a prospective new woman who can share their life with him after she’s gone.

She says she wants more time with Jason and her children, but “I probably have only a few days left being a person on this planet. So why I am doing this?

“I am wrapping this up on Valentine’s Day, and the most genuine, non-vase-oriented gift I can hope for is that the right person reads this, finds Jason, and another love story begins…”
