I was more than grateful to discover a parcel of crackers and supplies arrive in my name. I thank you for your remarkable support towards me over the course of this seemingly endless war. After spending a year and a half under constant hell fire in a strange and distant place, I am more than eager to come home to you.

Other projects forced the work aside for six years, and when they returned to it, times had changed. Their
