My dearest, please don't lose hope

If I'm not there beside you, sadly

Again I'm sorry for leaving you

Especially at this time,

When our first kid just turned five

While you're pregnant with our second

But this is a thing I have to do

To make sure that you

And our family would be safe

Away from the dangers

This approaching bloodshed may bring

I only ask that you take good care,

Of the kids, for me

Continue to fill their lives with love; our love

Even if I'm not there with you,

My dearest household, unfortunately

And lastly, patiently wait for me to come home,

Back to you, my not-so-little family
