A letter

To The town I grew up in, Idaho

Hopeful

Listen

I left in 1991 and I did not come back. I am sober now. I have been sober for nine years. The town did not give me the drinking. The town was just where the drinking happened. I want to be clear about that. I do not blame you. I just am not coming back. My wife is from the coast. We are happy. I hope you are too.
