I’m finally at a place in my life where I find peace. As I stood up at the scaffold with Dimmesdale, I remember him leaning on me for support. I remember him saying “ye, that have loved me!—ye, that have deemed me holy!—behold me here, the one sinner of the world!  At last—at last!—I stand upon the spot where, seven years since, I should have stood, here, with this woman, whose arm, more than the little strength wherewith I have crept hitherward, sustains me at this dreadful moment, from grovelling down upon my face!”…………… (page 200). It was hard for him to talk, so I helped him out. I tore away his ministerial garments, and there it was. On his chest also laid an ‘A’. At the end of it, the crowd recoiled in shock. Chillingworth looked like his soul died. His whole spirit was gone. Dimmesdale was no longer weak in spirit in my eyes. He now had my respect. Everyone could say whatever they wanted, but I waited all these years to finally be relieved of all this pressure. Seeing my daughter kiss her father meant everything to me. I finally got my family back. After going through hell for over about a decade, I’m happy that I made an impact on people’s lives. I am not the strongest person, but I do believe that when you do something wrong, you have to own up to the consequences. Dimmesdale and I are getting older, and my baby Pearl is growing up too. I’m really happy we all have a better relationship. I’m worried that Dimmesdale isn’t recovering at all because he still needs my help around the house and help when we’re out; he is also coughing and sleeping more. I know that our life is just about over, I just hope as Pearl grows up she leads people in the right direction. I want her to know that even though it’s not okay to sin, that when or if you do accidently slip up, you can always ask for forgiveness but never make the same mistake again. . I’ve been looking on the internet for a website that will guide Pearl into the right direction, and a website that will show her that steps to be a good Christian. Here is the website: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2010/julyweb-only/59-11.0.html

This is the end of us.
