Dear mom and dad,

I miss you, you might not see this letter, but I hope that I can see you again. I’ve been in the wilderness for 47 days, alone, waiting for someone to rescue me. A search plane had come but    it didn’t see me. When the plane left I felt empty, empty without hope. The plane would not come back again. I am alone and hopeless in the Canadian woods. There is no point of living now. For 47 days, what kept me motivated to survive was knowing that someone would eventually come and rescue me. I am done and done, I can’t do this without hope. If you are reading this right now I probably have already committed suicide. I love you mom and dad I am sorry that we can’t see each other again. I miss you. Goodbye.

Love Brian
