Summary: Felton writes one last letter.

Archive? Yuppers to 11 Cents and Dead Letters Home, all others please ask first, I'll most likely say yes!! It will also eventually appear on my homepage: www.lucaso.com/ladyeris.

Disclaimer: If I owned them, this would not have needed to be written.

Author's Notes: This is based on a challenge found here:: http://www.dymphna.net/deadletters/ The challenge was to have a character die and write one last letter from beyond the grave. This hasn't seen a beta's wonderful hands, but has witnessed the miracle that is the spell and grammar checker more than two times.

Dear Zack, Alley and Robin,

Hi kids, I suppose this is a little odd getting a letter from your dead Dad, but I have a few things I wanted to say to you that I didn't get a chance to say in life. So here goes my Dad talk, post mortem.

First off, I loved all three of you more than life itself, I would have done anything to spend more time with the three of you. Things didn't work out between your mother and I, don't blame yourself for our breaking up. It wasn't your fault; we just weren't the same people that we used to be.

Don't spend your life with someone you're not happy with. It's not worth it, be with someone who you love and who loves you back just as much. It makes all the difference in the world.

Find a job you like and that gives you a sense of purpose, even if you aren't the best at it. I was never the best murder police, but I knew that I was doing some good in this world.

It's not too bad up here, it's cleaner than Baltimore ever was and a lot more peaceful. The food's pretty good too. Don't worry yourself on where Daddy's gone, I'm somewhere good.

Grow up, be happy, marry someone you love and have kids you love to death. That's all I ever wanted from you, was for you to be happy and have the best life possible. I wish I could be there in life to watch you grow up and start lives of your own. But I'll be watching you from up here, and that's enough for me.

I can't really think of anything else to say, wasn't very good at expressing myself in life, still not very good at in death.

Love, hugs and kisses,

Dad. ~~finis~~
