The letter read, "To my loving husband, it has been 20 years already. I thought my world was crashing down when I lost you in the accident. "
She continued, "Once our children were fast asleep, I would cry every night just thinking about you. I couldn't help but think how I was going to raise these kids all on my own," and expressed her troubles.
Furthermore, "(Though it was hard) I managed to come all this way after working hard to feed the children." She then added, "Dear, your children are all married now. Just tell me once that I did well," in a cute expression.
