On the first day of the year, I found myself walking among marble tombstones. In a dark and sketchy cemetery, on a cold night in January with my leather jacket, black oversized pants, knitted sweater, and a scarf around my neck to keep me warm.

It was something I wanted to do since I found out about the letter days ago. And it felt right to do this now. This day. On the first of January. I used to celebrate my birthdays on this day. It was my only way of adding up the years when I didn't know my real date of birth.

But I guessed that tradition would come to an end this year.

January 24th; the day my mother gave me life and my father tried to take it.

I wanted to say thank you to the woman who risked her life to save me seventeen years ago. Who gave me a chance in life? Despite if that life was hard.

I snuck out of the house the same way I had when I went to the underground fight against Levi. Took my bike as well and drove here. It only took me half an hour to find in which cemetery she was buried and once I had the location I got dressed and followed my heart.

As I walked among the grey plaques I held my necklace in a tight hold.

She had a lovely tombstone.
