You may or may not know, but there is a very important man in my life who went through a very tough ordeal while I was in India. I shared his pain from afar.
My only way of staying in touch was a one-way letter system. It provided me with much needed comfort and apparently, it provided him with some as well.
Today, this email from his son made me cry with happiness.

Hi Allyn:
Anatoly asked me to write you to say Thank you for your letters. He really appreciated you taking time to do that. As for myself I also wanted to thank you for providing support to my father. It was the right thing at the right time. I really enjoyed translating them for him.
Thank you so much!!!
