My dearest friend Abel,
It has been too long since we have written. I suppose our estrangement is my fault. Ever since my family died in the fire, I have not been quite the same. I am supposed to be a strong man, yet I feel like a little orphaned boy lost in this world.
I am trying to rebuild my life, I have started with filling my life with mundane routine tasks. Every morning I rise before the sun, I tend to my goats and then I make breakfast. I have taken on a job in construction. There has been an increased demand for construction workers ever since we decided that it was time to rebuild the city.
I have attempted to make new friends, but it seems I am not the man I was before. I have found that it is difficult to talk to people, chatting seems so pointless when you think of how fragile life can be.
Anyway, I am getting better, I hope one day I will be able to return to a state of normalcy, but that is a long-term wish, for now, a routine life is the best for me.
I hope to hear from you soon, it would be my greatest pleasure to become as close as we once were as you are my last living connection to my past.
Cordially,
Elias
