Mother, Father, how fare you in the distant north?
Though we are separated by a thousand miles, I remain your daughter and our hearts beat as one. This letter carries good tidings. When I visit you both at the Northern Frontier, I will be bringing someone dear to my heart. This someone is my confidante and rock, and an inexhaustible source of support and encouragement. With exemplary character and a kind, gentle heart, there’s nothing that you could possibly not like.
Please take care of yourselves. I look forward to our familial reunion and hope that you have been well.
