Hester Prynne and I had decided to meet up in the forest.

“Hester!  Hester Prynne!”, said he; “is it thou?  Art thou in life?”

“Even so.” she answered.  “In such life as has been mine these seven years past!…” (150)

This was the first time we had seen one another in seven years, it felt unrealistic.  She had asked me to meet her in the forest so she could tell me the truth about who, Roger Chillingworth was and just as I suspected it was her husband.   Although that did not matter to me I still love her just as I did before I also finally received the pleasure of meeting young Pearl, my daughter, and I love her also.  At first when I saw Pearl I was afraid that people would know she is my child because of our similar facial features but that was just a silly thought I had.  Hester had suggested that she was going to run away alone, but I would not let her do so, I would not allow us to meet for the first time in seven years then have her leave me again so I decided to go along with her to Europe so her, Pearl and I could become one big happy family.

Hester said this would be a way of leaving the past behind us and starting fresh which I believe I was really in the need of.  I still have a guilty conscious of the sin I have committed but the fact that Boston is electing a new governor and I am to write a sermon makes thing easier for me. I will write my sermon and admit my sin then hop on the boat to Europe to enjoy my new life.  Since I am moving on to forget the past I went to research “Moving on in life” and found this website that has helped me a lot http://inspirationpro.net/12-rules-for-moving-forward-in-life.
