Hi sweetie,

Thanks for the picture. The one I had was getting old, you still had your front teeth missing. I'm sure that's not the picture you want your proud dad showing people. I know you don't like your hair short, either, but it looks cute on you… and besides, it's hair, it'll grow back.

I want to apologize – again – for everything that's happened the last few months with me and your mother. Sometimes things just don't work out between two people, no matter how hard they tried. Your mother and I could have both tried harder, but neither of us can fix it at this point. I wish we could, but… I know you hate it when I say this – and don't you roll your eyes at me, young lady – but you'll understand better when you're older.

As for now, well, just remember one thing. No matter what happens between your mother and me, I want you to know I love you very much and I can't wait to see you. The next leave I get, I'm taking my favorite daughter(that's you, in case you weren't keeping track, and yes, before you say anything I know you're my only one) to the amusement park in Delphi. And then maybe we can go to the museum and see that new Arrow of Apollo exhibit you bent my ear over last time.

Going to have to cut it off there. I'm about to arrive on my new ship and the pilot's telling us to stow our things. I'll write you again soon, Allison. (Don't worry, I'll send a patch for your collection and pictures of the ship next time.)

Love,
your father
