The reason I'm here is a "[...]" sent me a [...] for a Christmas present the day before Christmas, but the damn thing exploded, and a piece of it got stuck in my leg. A doctor to[ok] the piece out for me, though, and the hole doesn't hurt hardly any now. It really is not bad. I was lucky to have that picture of you in the [...] in my pocket so I still have it. I lost everything I didn't have on my person. I guess [...] try to borrow a razor now - I haven't shaved for two weeks. Good nite little sister. Love - Rog.
