my dear child,

so much has pasted since the ngày that i took bạn to live with those people, i know that bạn are so very young still but if bạn could read this letter, bạn would know and soon come to understand why i had to do what i did,

i was desparate and i had to find a job, and where i was working let me pay for bạn to get the things that i could never give you, like a giường to sleep in, and all of the pretty clothes that i paid with my own money to feed bạn and keep bạn safe,


I know that bạn don't understand this now, but when bạn become a mother bạn will come to understand why i had to do what i did yo save you, because your father abandoned us living us with nothing but the clothes on our backs.

tình yêu
your mother
fantine.
