Mr Solider.
<p>Hello Mr Solider,</p><p>Here is a civilian writing to you. I really hope you get my letter.</p><p>Mummy and Daddy are very proud of you and so am I. </p><p>I know I cried on the day you left.</p><p>I know how I begged you not to leave.</p><p>Eventually, I had to let you go.</p><p>Because I finally saw the good in what you wanted.</p><p>You wanted to serve your country.</p><p>To save lives and give people safety.</p><p></p><p>But come oo Mr Solider,</p><p>It's been Five years now since you left us.</p><p>I remember when we got the letter.</p><p>Mommy cried a lot sha. Daddy was so shocked and devastated that eventually he was rushed to the hospital.</p><p>Mr Solider.. do you know we lost Daddy the next day? </p><p></p><p>I swear I almost lost mummy too.</p><p>Anytime I look at her, I don't see a woman who lost her husband and son.</p><p>I see a survivor.</p><p>I see a woman who didn't give in to death.</p><p>You're probably wondering "what about you? How are you coping?"</p><p></p><p>To be honest with you bah...</p><p>Mr Solider.</p><p>I am tired of crying.</p><p>I am tired of wishing and saying "had I known."</p><p>I want you back. I need you back.</p><p>But then I always remind myself of what you said to me.</p><p>I reminisce when we talked about soldiers who have lost their lives at the battlefield.</p><p>"what if it happens to you too?" I had asked.</p><p>" well at least I died while fighting for my country." you replied.</p><p>" This country?" I asked sarcastically.</p><p>We laughed it off but now it came back to bite us and took you away.</p><p></p><p>Mr Solider.</p><p>I really miss you.</p><p>I'm trying my best each day to survive.</p><p>I want to stay strong for mummy.</p><p>I know you want that too.</p><p></p><p>Mr Solider.</p><p>You're probably rolling your eyes while reading this letter but like an artist once said, " If I could see your face one more day, you're mine. So many things I want to say, like I miss you, I won't forget you and this love will last forever."</p><p></p><p>I can't wait until we meet again in Heaven.</p><p></p><p></p><p> Your's Faithfully,</p><p> Your Favorite Civilian.</p><p></p>
