Although I did marry another woman after Anita's death, Anita was and always will be the most important woman in my life. I fell in love with her at first sight at the Battle of Tatters. She was not only my wife, but also a precious and brave comrade who always stood by my side, even in the most dangerous of situations. She left her previous husband to run away with me and support me in every revolution I took part in.
Anita was an exceptional woman in every way - she knew how to wield a sword as well as any man in the Redshirts, but at the same time was the most caring mother and most attentive housewife I knew.
My first and most loving wife eventually died in Mandriole while retreating from the French. Her death was devastating, but the one comfort I took in her passing was the fact that she died in my arms.
