Hope to see you soon


Dear Mom You've asked me, before, why I stay where I am. So now... I'll give you the reason. There are many people in this part of the world, that, without cause, are convicted of treason. I know I can't stay here forever, it's useless, even, to try. But if I came home, right now, saying I no longer care, you know I'd be telling a lie. I want to stay, just a little bit, longer... help this group to become a bit stronger. I'd like to say that i'll see you soon, then again, I don't really know. I just don't want leave this place, while doing no good and having nothing to show. Don't ever forget I love you Mom, John
