The Farewell Letter
As he prepared to join the front, Bob had to complete several formalities, including writing a farewell letter. This was standard protocol for soldiers deployed on dangerous missions. The letter was meant to help the family grieve in case something tragic happened. Bob kept his letter a secret, refusing even his closest friends in the military to read it. It was clear to everyone that Bob had seriously considered this letter.
Some speculated that it contained heartbreaking goodbyes and wise words, while others thought it was a more realistic document describing his last wishes and instructions. Bob was a soldier, and his job required him to follow orders without question. He had been given a mission with vague details, even for his family. The following days were difficult for Bob and his mother as they grappled with the uncertainty of the situation and the emotional burden that came with it.
