The Unknowns

Chapter 22

El, 

Your words are like music to my heart. Reading what you say about me makes me smile to my ears. Don't worry, you won't lose me when you leave. We are bound to be together. I will write to you everyday. You will also receive your story. I think I am only going to write a story, not a whole book. It would be too much to start with. If it would be a book, I couldn't sent it to you overseas. A story could simply be a couple of pages. A book, easily hundreds. 

I know you are sad about your parents and them not showing they love you but, we both know they do. They truly love you Eldrick. Showing it is hard for them at the moment but they do. Hearing that your own son is leaving to go fight a war that he might not even comeback is hard. Reacting can also be hard because you are broken to see that he is leaving and it could be the last time you see him. It is hard for the one that leaves but also for those who stay behind and worry. I worry about my father every second. I will worry about you every second. Even microseconds. I never thought you would become this important to me. I never saw it coming. Eldrick, do you think it is a coincidence that I found your letter stuck in a brick wall while walking to nowhere in particular? I don't believe in coincidences, I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe the reason is that we both needed the other. We needed the company and the support the other had to give. I don't want to lose that. Losing you would be horrible. You keep my letters in a red box and I keep yours in a box where I keep everything that is dear to me. I have old souvenirs in there that are from my childhood. There is my very first teddy-bear and many other things I had when I was younger. I think you would like it . Souvenirs like that permit you to know someone a little better, know their past and what they went through. Do you have souvenirs from your childhood that you kept? 

To answer your question, on my last day alive, I would spend the entire day with the ones I love. What about you?
