Mother,
i wanted to send a copy of my application for conscientious objection because I wanted to try and explain why I am doing this. I wasn't sure that you and I would talk about it enough over the phone for you to understand. i have spent more time and effort on this application than i have on anything in a long time. It doesn't explain everything, but it may give you a better picture of my reasons. I know my decision does not fit with the way you hoped I would live my life, but I feel strongly that I must do this; i have no doubt that God is leading me in this direction.
I love you very much and I hope we can both learn to accept each other for the choices we have made. i have thought and prayed over this decision more than any other, and I cannot be more proud of myself for following what I feel is right. I miss you, but have felt intimidated to see you very often, afraid you will judge me too harshly. Maybe, in that, I am judging you too harshly, that i am not giving you a chance. Again, i hope we can solve that problem. Please read my answers to the Air Force's questions. I hope in some way you can understand why I chose to act on my beliefs and live more honestly.
Love, Stephen
