Kiowa from The Things They Carried
My Family, I woke up with this sudden feeling that today would be my last. I have had that feeling a lot lately, but now it’s now stronger than ever. This is why I am writing to you, mostly out of fear that this letter will be my last. I want you to know that you have taught me so much, and I will always remember that, even if my body shall die, my soul will never forget your kindness.
