Dear Mom: How are you these days? I miss you so much. I could not believe that I have left home for a long time and became a military here for more than one year. I have begin to fit in new life, although it is really hard. I really miss have dinner with you and my dad. Now I can feel it is so sweet that I can stay with my family. And your cooking is so good. Nearly all of money used to support the war so that soldiers have not enough food to eat, food were all cold. Mom, the food was really so bad that I could not bear it at the beginning. It was not only cold and hard, but also I could not distinguish what I ate in the end. A lot of my friends used to tried to give up and go back home, but our general was a great leader. We had a long talk with general. And he tried to solve problems that we had. He made me moved and want to cry. Do you know how much I missed you at that time? I hope you can give me a hand. Let me know I am not alone. Certainly, I have other questions that make me crazy. The weather was very cold in winter. I miss your warm hug. And everyone is living in the tent. I even hear wind and nearly felt birds fly over our tent, maybe they are all cold so that fly slowly. Sometimes I hope there is a hole in the top of my tent, and then I can calculate stars at night. Maybe I can find some of beautiful and bright stars that you used to tell me in the story. I know it was a good way to make me forgot cold and pain, because I know you are in my heart. Mom, I remember you used to tell me stories about my beautiful country when I was a little girl. You told me there were a lot of beautiful houses like I saw in the fairy stories, everyone was friendly to each other and have sweet smiles as they were a big family. Do you remember I used to have a dream is about have a traveling to every corner and say “hello” to every person? But now I really arrived to a lot of strange places that I never heared. I am disappoint. Because I could not find beautiful smile from person’s face. I found fear appeared in children’s face. I found they ask me why we need fight and damage their sweet family, beautiful home and colourful childhood. At that time, I felt so sad I tried to escape their eyes. Mom, I felt pain sometimes. What time is the deadline? Mom, it is hard to write and send letter to you. I have a lot of words want to tell you. I do not know what is the next step and next station. But please remember, I miss you every day. I hope this war finished quickly and I can stay with you forever. Yours Daughter Flora
