SUBJECT: Thank you
I don't feel worthy of such a gift, especially since it has sentimental value to you. Still, I will attempt to thank you as much as I can through mere words, although I doubt how effective it will be.
You truly are a rare jewel, for a genuinely kind heart is not something one encounters very often these days. The music box is beautiful, as is the tune it plays. I have always been fond of music.
You said you would bring your parents back. I too have lost mine, but I'm not sure if I would bring my father back if I could. My mother, of course - part of changing my entire life would include the chance to know her. Perhaps my relationship with my father could be different, if we started again from the very beginning.
It is too late for me to become an entirely different person. Despite my moments of regret, I might not want to even if I had the chance. But if you knew me, truly knew who I was, you would agree that I would be much improved if I were an entirely different person.
