Dearest Mother,
When you read this letter of mine, I'm already gone far away.
I'm sorry that I was not able to say goodbye, because if I do, I'm sure you won't let me go.
I will go far away because there's something... I need to sort out with myself.
Don't worry, I'm not gone for good. I'll be back after sorting myself out.
I apologize if I cause you so much pain.
I'm hoping for your understanding and unconditional love.
I shall return one day, Mother dear.
Please take care of yourself.
I love you so much and please take care of Lily and Jacob for me.
Yours truly,
Caroline

Thelma finished reading the letter. She experienced a pounding headache all of a sudden. She lies down in the bed and inhales and exhale air softly into her lungs, she repeated the process several times. Now is not the time to get sick or ill, not when one of her daughters was gone missing again!
