Mother,
I am leaving for Pensia with Finn. I'm going in search of my father.
One day I imagine I will return, either heart broken with my tail tucked between my legs, pride shattered and crying out how right you were. Or I will return as an extension of my former self, liberated from growing up not knowing the kind of man that helped give me life.
I'm not sure which outcome I hope for most. I think whatever outcome brings me back home to you, forgiven and still deeply loved, just as I've always been.
One day I hope you can forgive me and with time maybe even understand my choices. For now I leave you with this letter and the promise that I will write to you, never to leave you wondering if I am okay. I will be okay.
I love you.
Joey
