Letters from the Commander/History of Memento Mori
2.15.02 Missing (Part Three of the History of Memento Mori)
Today I finally heard back from my daughter. Her letter was so sad. She said she no longer believed in love and was thinking of joining the Dread Army. She wrote, "Down here, love wasn’t meant to be for me. All is vanity underneath the sun." Feeling defeated, I prayed and wept bitterly for what felt like hours. I cried out, "Why am I here fighting to bring love to the earth, when my own daughter doesn’t believe in it anymore?" Afterwards, I was comforted to remember that everyone who seeks the truth with all their heart will find it. Love is true. My daughter will know love. All IS vanity underneath the sun. Everything and everyone on earth will leave us empty and unfulfilled, because there is only one love. She was already finding truth in her searching.
