This was a hard read because I felt bad for Michael. Yes, he made some mistakes. He should have gone about things differently before he was went into boot camp. Yet, he wrote her everyday. He explained what he couldn't say in person. His fiancée never read a single letter he sent her. She spent years angry at him. If she’d just opened the letters she could have saved herself years of pain and grief at the loss of what a life with him could’ve been like. She didn’t know what pressure Michael was under by his parents. If he had just told her instead of running off to join the military. He didn’t think he would ever be able to prove that he was man enough to take care of her. His parents expected him to go to work in the company business. They didn’t make much money. He wanted to be able to provide more for her than he had growing up. Especially, since her parents were financially better off than his were. If only they’d talked it out he would’ve know she didn’t care as long as she had him! When he returns will she even give him enough time to explain? And can he get the words out?
