A second chance

Keane's POV:

I'm keane a 22 years old college student, life has been hard for me ever since my only family (my mom) died the day before my birthday. As i was crying over my mother's corpse, a nurse passes me a note saying

" Find The Red Box", she said it was a note my mom left to me before she died and that i don't have to worry about the hospital cost and for the funeral and burial plans. i quickly came back home finding the red box that my mother noted me to find. after the burial of my mother a couple adopted me and took care of me, they aren't poor but they aren't rich, they are just average family in the society who pays tax and whatever it is that needs to be paid in order to live in this so called "society". the couple are understanding and kind, they adopted me probably because they pity me? and they said they have always wished to have a child, they are lonely just like me, that is why i agreed to be adopted but i just can't bring myself to be open to them cause I'm afraid. I'm afraid to be open to everyone knowing that they might leave this world without me again, just like what my mother did. The red box has been my comfort all this time, inside the box are the letters and notes that my mother wanted me to open one letter in each time i celebrated my birthday, the letters are lessons and the knowledge of life based on my mother's experience. when I turned 12 years old i opened a letter that is saying "Life always offers you a second chance, It's called Tomorrow" but i don't understand what it meant. A second chance? for what?, i have this diary about my life, when i don't understand things i just write them down hoping that one day someone would answer my questions. if someone told you that there's a second chance over something, would you believe it? will you be hopeful? .

I turned 13 and opened a letter, this time it says "Having Hope will give you Courage"

seriously mother why are you leaving me these life lessons that i couldn't even understand!! how i wish there could be someone who translates these sentences to me cause i feel like mother has been living in a different world all those time!😔

Years passed by keane still haven't learn even a single lesson that his mother wrote down.
