"My dearest Violet,
How are you? Are you well? How has the world been treating you? Have your eyes opened to the wonders of the world? Have you been freed from the embrace of cold war? I wanted so much more for you than the life you had. But I hope you know in every moment of it, you were always loved. In every way, I wanted you to know that. I wonder often how you are, in the freedom you've claimed. Are you finally smiling? I hope so. Violet,If you are reading my letter, then... it means that perhaps, our skies are very different now. But I want you to know how happy I am. How proud I was to be your major. And how happy I will be when the day comes that you come to understand the world with your heart. By now,I hope you know the meaning to my words. Because they are forever in my heart. And now,in yours too. I'm sorry I left you, Violet. I'm sorry I had to say goodbye. But I know you're strong. And you will make it through. And one day, you will find someone to repeat those words to. Until then, Ill miss you,
love The Major."
