Dear 19 year old Dana,
I am so sorry that those soldiers violated you. I know you feel so weak right now. But you are a strong woman. Get up and fight. I know you feel so alone right now. You are 9,000 miles away from home and have no one to talk to you.
Remember none of this is your fault. You can not control someone elses choices. Don’t beat yourself up. Right now you may not feel like you deserve love. But I know you do. You are an amazing women. And I love you very much.
I want to tell you a secret. The man you are getting ready to meet and marry, he is an amazing man. Give him a chance. He wants to love you let him. Don’t try to change him. He is perfect just the way he is.
You will have many trials and tribulations in the future. Stay strong.
I love you
Love ME
