Miho wrote the letters as part of her English class at school and was supposed to get the letters back when was 19 and another when she was 22, but her teacher had passed away in 2013, before the letters were sent out. Sachi believes someone recently found them and put many classes worth of letters in the mail.

Sachi told BuzzFeed News that, after taking time off from college for depression, Miho was studying at the University of Illinois when she was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April 2015.

Sachi said her daughter was “Very compassionate, but she was not a kind of person that fit into a mold. She was always on the side of those who were weak or lonely.”
