▁places , ▁one ▁meets ▁all ▁other ▁sou ls ▁there ▁[ P t . ▁VII , ▁Mary ▁O ' Ne ill ' s ▁Let ter ▁to ▁Martin ▁Con rad , ▁p .   5 7 6 - 7 ] ▁ ▁Never ▁allow ▁yourself ▁to ▁think ▁that ▁my ▁life ▁has ▁not ▁been ▁a ▁happy ▁one . ▁Looking ▁back ▁on ▁it ▁now ▁I ▁feel ▁as ▁if ▁I ▁have ▁always ▁had ▁happiness . ▁And ▁when ▁I ▁have ▁not ▁had ▁happiness ▁I ▁have ▁had ▁something ▁far ▁higher ▁and ▁better — bl essed ness . I ▁have ▁had ▁such ▁joy ▁in ▁my ▁life , ▁dear — jo y ▁in ▁the ▁beauty ▁of ▁the ▁world , ▁in ▁the ▁sun sh ine ▁and ▁the ▁moon ▁and ▁the ▁stars ▁and ▁the ▁flowers ▁and ▁the ▁songs ▁of ▁the ▁birds , ▁and ▁then ▁( ap art ▁from ▁the ▁divine ▁love ▁that ▁is ▁too ▁holy ▁to ▁speak ▁about ) ▁in ▁my ▁religion , ▁in ▁my ▁bel oved ▁Church , ▁in ▁the ▁love ▁of ▁my ▁dear ▁mother ▁and ▁my ▁sweet ▁child , ▁and ▁above ▁all — above ▁all ▁in ▁you . I ▁feel ▁a ▁sense ▁of ▁sacred ▁thank ful ness ▁to ▁God ▁for ▁giving ▁you ▁to ▁me , ▁and ▁if ▁it ▁has ▁not ▁been ▁for ▁long ▁in ▁this ▁life , ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁for ▁ever ▁in ▁the ▁next . ▁[ P t . ▁VII , ▁Mary ▁O ' Ne ill ' s ▁Let ter ▁to ▁Martin ▁Con rad , ▁p .   5 7 7 - 8 ] ▁ ▁References ▁ ▁External ▁links ▁ ▁The ▁Woman
