Dear Mom & Dad

I pray that the Almighty bright god has ensured you both good health. He, has ensured my good health as well.

So, I have never tried doing this. Sending a letter to you. I thought, why not send one to you guys. I’m missing you guys here. But gladly, I have not been feeling homesick. Who could feel homesick after looking at the beauty of this country. I can’t get enough of the country-side and the people here, are not bad as well. When I came here, I thought they would be hostile to us. But they’re actually very friendly. A elderly couple in a nearby village, where I am posted invited me and my patrol team to supper. We gladly got the permission from the HQ, to go to their invite. The food was delicious, Ernie was the biggest eater out of us all. He ate like he hadn’t eaten in a month or two. While, Michelle felt a little upset by the spiciness of the food. But she liked the desert they gave her. When I asked, the couple why they invited us, you know what they answered? They said it was the tradition of their culture to welcome foreigner and travellers with to their home. I have read a little about Khorasani culture. They actually invite strangers to their home for food and even let them stay in their house without question. How generous is that!

Shame, I’m here to fight a war. I would’ve loved to live in peace with these people and their rich history and culture.

My tour ends towards 30th of this month. So, it’ll take about the 2nd of July to get to the Isle. I’ll tell you more about Khorasan when I get home.

No more today, Love you mom and dad. And Dad, I hope you been taking your medicine. I’ll be checking your medicine stash when I get home. You better not be skipping on your meds.

Sincerely Yours,

Veronica.
