When my best friend Kenneth sent me a letter from boot camp, it meant more than he probably realized. Hearing from him while he was going through something so intense and challenging made the words feel even more meaningful. The letter had this mix of strength, honesty, and vulnerability that only comes out when someone is far from home but still thinking about you. It was a reminder of our friendship, his resilience, and the fact that even with everything he was facing, he still took the time to reach out.
