❝if I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.❞
i got two suprises today.
a new letter, and news about dad.
dad
he's dead.
so why are they just finding the letters now?
he fought in the army, and died in afghanistan. he was one of the few unlucky ones who didn't make it back. we knew that.
but the base he used to work at contacted us today, and they found something. it's slightly ironic, what they found.
they found letters.
it turns out that while he was there, he had been writing letters for me and mum in case something happened to him.
they were buried in one of the dirt mounds surrounding their camp, and they saw the metal box poking through the sand after a freak storm occured.
can you believe it?
it will be like having a piece of dad back. i miss him so much, but i try not to show it.
he wouldn't want that.
the letter, though.
it suprised me.
i really do know him. we must be so close.
god, i am so blind!
i need to find out who it is
i don't think you know how badly i need to know.
because i really, really do.
