Hi Agatha,
I tried to reach you by ship, my dear deciste husband, Christian has left me.
His heart, we buried in his knapsack, furlap, and gave it to gohst of dewdrops, to feed to the bears. How on water, the days dreer on. My greatest fortitude, hold night.

Felip tested the ship's mast day and night, wondering if it would keep with the storms, praying to the gods of change for best return.

Edgard, young boy of 5, prayed for his missing Father, wondered what had happened to him, wondered when the next time would be, that father would kiss him good fortnight.
Edgard had felt the presence of his father for years, but never not physically. Now, where would his Spirit go, how would he touch it?
As he looked down he saw Bunnybear he always carried. His youngest brother, Juan, age 3, carried Brownbear, and he often wondered if  brownbear's life was better, if bunnybear was somehow missing out on what Juan was teaching brownbear, if he was growing up faster, learning more, and having more fun... as a result, would Brownbear gain more or less...

Dear Daddy,
you were so strong, you could always catch my fist, damn, sure wish you had missed it. In the meantime, may you die sooner rather than later, to ahem, save yourself some pain.
Yours regretfully,
Respectively,
Ania

Dear Daddy,
why did you have to do that to her? what you did to me was ugly and scary. Please Daddy,
touch me first next time. That way I can see you care.

Dear Dad,
I am ready to move out, to be on my own, learn some things. I want to make you proud Dad, and I believe this is what I have to do, dont want to leave my home, and I wont travel far, I'll always be as close as a stone's throw away.
Jacob

Dear Dad, I know the Gods in Heaven are happy with you, a God yourself. Please bless me my Moon Angel, for my Godself is gone, my Sons are without a father, and you are here.
To thine only powers be,
To thine own powers true,
To you,
Albinia.
