A Soldier's Letter

Dear Mother,
I am writing to you today to let you know how much I love you. I know that it is difficult being apart from you, I miss you terribly. Soon I hope to come to visit you. I also would like to say that for all of the things that happened in my childhood that I did wrong, I am sorry. I love you very much and wish you the very best. As for my future in life I hope to survive this war and come home and have a family. I hope that you will be very proud of me and my decisions no matter what the future brings for us. I will take care of the family for you and make sure that things go well. I will try to keep things up as you would. I will close by saying again that I love you and I hope to see you soon. If I do not get to see you I will understand that you will be looking down upon me. I just want to thank you for raising me well.
I love you,
Your son
