The Letter That Never Came

Dearest Children,

Since we have been abroad, we have missed you all so very much. Certain events have compelled us to extend our travels. One day, when you are older, you will learn about the people we've befriended, and the dangers we have faced. At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may in-fact be the first steps of a journey. We hope to have you back in our arms soon, but in case this letter arrives before our return, know that we love you. It fills us with pride to know that no matter what happens in this life, that you will take care of each other with kindness, and bravery, and selflessness as you always have. And remember one thing and never forget it - that no matter where you are, know that as long as you have each other, you have your family, and you are home.

Your loving parents
