What atonement except life itself would be sufficient to honor dear Sydney Carton for the incomprehensible sacrifice he made on my and my family’s behalf! It is immensely difficult to fathom how he galvanized himself to willingly take my place in the line of death heading towards the Guillotine. That man was scrutinized, under appreciated, and disregarded all his life, I being guilty of being one of those thinkers at times, but he is a man forever unmatched in his bravery, mercy, and ability to see what living really is. He has recalled me to life twice when I was on the verge of death, while being recalled to life himself through the sacrifice of life itself.
My emancipation has delivered me to a long life with my wife and child, and the children I am blessed with in the future. I could ask for nothing more than a quiet life in England to enjoy the simplicities and small joys of everyday while giving constant anamnesis to the strong wills and tribulations that gave me this miracle of being recalled to life.
Carton will forever be resurrected and remembered. We will weep for him on this day that he has passed to Heaven and the next son for Lucie and I shall be named Sydney Carton and will be told the divine story of the man who became the golden thread for us all.
