This is the letter Carter wrote Abby when he was in the Congo. I found it on NBC's website, and thought I'd share it with you! Enjoy!
Dear Abby,
sejak the time anda read this letter, Luka should be selamat, peti deposit keselamatan in America and anda will probably be wondering why I'm not with him. Before anda go blaming yourself let me just say, it's not you, it's me - and I know even as I write this that you're going to think that's a breakup cliché, but if anda could just try and hold back your judgment - and your condemnation - for a minute, maybe anda will actually be able to understand what I'm trying to say. Being here has changed me in ways I never imagined. It put everything in perspective. County, Gamma's death, you. Well, me and you. We just had to work so hard at everything. Too hard, anda know? When I think back on our last tahun together, everything appears hazy, muddled. And in the Congo, everything is very clear. People are suffering. I can help them. They need me. In a way that anda don't.
You're much stronger than anda think. anda don't need me, Abby, and I don't think anda ever really did. We both know we would work better unfettered. I think that at one point anda convinced yourself that I was the right guy for anda - reliable and safe, and I don't know, stable - but I don't think that that's what anda really want. When we were just friends, it was safe. Maybe we even put each other on pedestals, I don't know. And then when we were finally together, it didn't become what either of us thought it would be. I didn't end up being what anda expected, and anda didn't end up being…sorry, I'm rambling.
I gave anda as much as I could, but it wasn't enough. Clearly, there were a lot of things going on in your life that were lebih important, understandably. Eric's disease, your mother. Your life is complicated, and I didn't fit into that mix very well, did I? I tried to help, but then when I needed you…I don't know.
The light is dying. I don't want to waste any lebih kerosene.
I don't know how long I'm going to end up staying here. Don't wait for me.
I also want to say thank you. anda are still one of the most amazing people I know.
Love,
Carter
