I have been thinking about returning to Karioja and living like a clean young man as long as something happens etc. Or I will never return and I’ll stay here until the end. Hilma you might think when you read this letter that I’m missing home but no, on the contrary.
might be leaving but in reality he doesnt want to
Have you seen my brother there in Finland?
He it writting this girl but doesnt even know where is brother is
Please be so kind and don’t show this letter to anybody.
doesnt want the letter to be shown to anyone again
Maybe I will end this letter now and apologize for bothering you with this cheap and childish letter.
he seems so apologize a lot for bothering this girl and for his "cheap" letter
I come to you as a flying leaf because the distance is too long for me to speak to you or to greet you with a warm hand.
obviously distance was still an issue back then and people were hurt by this distance
Don’t show this to anybody
I wonder why they dont want anyone else to see this
May I ask why you didn’t respond to me anymore? Was there something that you didn’t like? If that was the case, please forgive me. I would like to ask one more thing of you. Could it be possible for you to send me a picture of you?
Did this person just not reply
That morning I jumped off my bed horrified and thought that this is the final day, the day that is called the end of world.
i wonder what this actual event was
years
3 or 4 years is such a long time
ts, I paused at an intersection on Flatbush Avenue where the barrels lined the sidewalk like rotund soldiers colored ocean blue and brown. ”What are those?” my wife asked.
a memory that reminded the author of the past times, like food or a song
when I wanted them, and who was used to showing off what daddy got me from America, I realized I could control my father using his ineffable guilt
guilting and having this emotions for someone who they beryl saw or had a strong relationship with
crunchy American apples, SPAM, Honey Nut Cheerios, Pringles, gummy bears, gummy snakes, bubble gum, and so many more candies.
interesting connection to food like the other article. the things that she remembers
“You still remember, that was 20 years ago,” my mom replied.
interesting to see what the parents remember vs what the kids remember
All I need is that first bite, and I’m home again.
food can sometimes connect memories or past times. This reminds of when I hear a song from a while ago and it makes me think of a certain time of my life, putting me back in that moment.
