"I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me.. That everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us.. Inside, looking out. Like you say, inside out. Jonfen, in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine. Our families will be with us, and our families' families. Your grandfather, and perhaps in some way, my grandfather as well. It is impossible I will never know why grandfather did this to himself. Perhaps he wanted to bury his life along the side of his past. But I must tell you Jonfen.. He seemed, as if for the first time in his life, content to be where he was... Jonfen, I'm sending you this because we have shared something to exist for. And, of course, in case anyone comes searching."
