IT WAS POSTMARKED POCATELLO
Should I open it? Of course I should. It's just a letter. But who could know me from Pocatello? No one told me they were going to Pocatello. I think I would have remembered that. Maybe it is a friend or relative of someone I know. Why am I waiting? Why am I trying to guess the answer when it is in my hands? Am I a mystery writer now? Am I writing my own mystery? Why am I stalling? Am I afraid to open the letter? Do I think it has bad news? What id it was sent to me by mistake? What if it's one of those chain letters? What if there's money inside?
The opened letter said, "I love you and I always will." There was no signature. There was no return address, just the one sentence that changed my life.
