Third Chance

Dear Peggy,
By the time they actually let me send you this letter, I imagine you'll already know. The reports of my death, as they say, well... have been greatly exaggerated. Do they still say that? I assume Twain never goes out of fashion, but I once thought that about high-waisted men's slacks. I am alive. It doesn't feel... fair. I was given a second chance once, and I swore to make the most of it. If I'm being charitable, I think I did, most days. I knew I was living on borrowed time, and I was grateful for every second. It feels different this time, coming back. The first time, I woke up to see a new world we created with our sacrifice. Now, I see what we've created with our hubris. I don't believe any man deserves a third chance at life. Especially when I think about all the people who had their first lives cut short. But here I am. I can't change that fact. All I can do is make the most of it, and make as many things right as I can. Till we meet again, Steve |
