If you are reading this letter, well needless to say I have passed on. I have given this letter to Flash with instructions that he give it to you when he thinks the time is right. Knowing Flash that is probably several years from now, but still he is reliable in his own way. 

The are many things that I would like to tell you, of your mother, of myself. Indeed my main regrets in life are missing most of your childhoods and missing seeing you grow up. I reckon that I will see you grow up, just as I will always be with you, watching from where ever I go. I just cannot shake off the feeling that there is a greater plan in the works for me and this is a nessessary step. Probably just wishful thinking from a battered and weary halfling. 

I have tried to think of what useful and long-lasting advice I could give you, and in the end, I could only come up with the simplest. Be yourself, and don't let others dictate your beliefs. Of course there is the more practical advice, learn how swim, keep a flint and tinder with you and never trust easily, but that is common sense.

Well, its almost light and we set off at dawn, time for me to awaken Euvgeni... never an easy task. 

All my love and I will be with you always.

Dad.
