Dear Lover, 

        Today I am deeply concerned for my health. I just went to the hospital for a routine check up. Like I do every year around this time. What they found inside my body is scary. It somehow went unnoticed until early yesterday. I didn't write yesterday for fear of writing something grim. I want to inform you that I have stage 4 bone cancer in my left leg. I think it's funny how my father died of the same disease when I was young. It was in the same spot almost and I can't help but think about our similarities. I know cancer isn't funny, it's just something I noticed. Anyways, the cancer only started there. It spread to my prostate and my right lung. They say I don't have much time to live, so I've decided to live to the fullest until then. I'm going to take a plane to you and actually skydive into your backyard. That is, if the doctors let me. It's a big if since I'm stuck here in the hospital until I'm well enough to be home. I go into surgery next week to remove the tumor in my lung. Then next month, if I live, I will go into surgery for my leg. I'm trying to get them reversed, but so far no luck has come my way. if you can, please come visit me. That would mean a lot in my weakened state. There really is no one I would rather see other than you. They gave me a wish to use, and I don't know what to use it on. I could have almost anything I want, but all I want is you. So I will think of my wish until next time I write. Hopefully I have better news, and also an idea for my wish. I have an inkling right now, but I would like to hear your ideas. Please write me back with ideas and whether or not you'll be able to come. Anyways, I hope you have been receiving my letters. They are all I can give you until I control the world. If that ever happened, I would give it all to you in a heartbeat. Please continue to love me, even in my weakened state. I love you and will continue to love you forever and always.

                                                                                          Your Always loving beloved,

                                                                                                                               John Doe
