Letter TO My Mom
Dear MOm; May 3, 1970
3528 Louis st, 2355
Mom, i know we talked about this last night. I know you were upset and scared that something will happen to me if i go on strike. I am also scared and worried what kind of things can happen to me. You know i'm doing this for my people who don't want to follow Nixon, i'm doing this because if you'll see me in war, it is a higher chance for me to not come back. You know that i don't deserve to go to war, you know that i'm a student who deserves to be a doctor one day. If dad was here he will be very proud of me and you. You're the only one left in my family and no matter what you'll always be in my heart and i'll always carry your blood with me till the end. You showed me as a young boy what was right and wrong and doing this protest is for the right of my own. I thank you for all the memories you gave me and all the experiences we've been through. You were there for my first view of the world, you were there for my first crawling/step, you were there for my first "mommy", you were there for my kinder graduation, my middle and high school achievements, and now you'll be here when i succeed for my future. I remember every little detail of our story together like the time when we went to the park after my soccer game, we celebrated my goal with that sweet strawberry ice cream. Then we went to get some corn dogs and sit down the porch of the Salles Beach, i remember the howling sound the wind blew, the mosquitoes that pinched my sensitive skin, the old man yelling "Corn Dog Get Your Corn Dogs", the beautiful sunset that made me want to cry as i hugged you. That was one of my favorite memories with you mom. Well i wrote this letter to not say that i'll die in case of anything. In writing this because i don't know what God is planning to do with me as i march there but what i know is that i'm writing this to say i'm very sorry for arguing back at you and to show you that what i'm about to do is very important. Its obvious that i made my decision to strike tomorrow at 12:00 pm with my friends and thousands of other students. For sure after this protest, how about we head out to you're favorite restaurant and spend a night together at you're house, i'll love to sleep at home were everything started. I love you so much mom, never forget that. You're the best! take care at work and i'll pick you up after okay. I know you will sooner or later respect for what i decided so thank you. Once again I love you mom. Hugs and Kisses
Love, Anthony
