A Letter To Parley

Dear Parley, I know I only met you once, yet I feel I know you quite well, since your grandma is my sister. You looked so healthy and happy that day that it's hard to believe the bad news that you have received. I know you love to play baseball, and that's my favorite sport, too. I was good at batting the ball and running bases years ago when I was young. I never had a strong throwing arm, but I was very accurate. I hear that you also like video games. Some of them are all right, but one should avoid any that involve shooting or killing. Violence becomes ingrained in you and then you lose all sense of wrong and right. Video games did not exist when I was your age. How times change! Be brave and strong and listen to your parents and all the doctors, but most of all, please don't forget to pray to Heavenly Father when you are alone or troubled. He knows you and loves you deeply. I think He has a plan for you to remain a bit longer here on this earth, but if He were to take you away at eight years old, then know that He has even more important work for you Up There. Death is not to be feared by those who are faithful in their callings and you certainly fit the bill. Love, Uncle Kim
