So this is inspired by Carrie Underwood's song Mama's Song. Please read and review.
I don't own Bones.
Dear Mom,
Between you and Dad you taught me to do the right thing, and made me realize very early in life how important that was. I hate to admit it but I am what you made me to be. Now though I am a grown woman and you have to let me go out on my own. That doesn't make the greatest sense to me because you have been gone for quite some time now but Booth says you've been here throughout everything. That is defying logic and in no way possible but a small part of me hope's that he is in fact correct.
You've given me everything I need to survive. You taught me to be quick, be determined and be brave. There's no one else besides Booth who has taught me more. You and Dad taught me how to live and when you left the system taught me to survive. I had forgotten most of what you had said over those years but Booth seems to remind me just how you would've said certain things. He has reminded me of who you wanted me to be and how to live my life fully again.
You watched me grow up for awhile and I know that you wanted what was best for Russ and I and I think I've found the answer. Booth. I have finally accepted that it's what's right and what I need. I have stopped running and I love him. That scares me but he is good, so good. He treats me different then everyone else does. He doesn't see the scientist or big words or coldness, he sees me. The real me.
He makes promises he keeps. Everyone and has never betrayed my trust in him. He's the kind of person that settles down and wants the family life and I know he's never going to leave me. So you don't have to worry if that's what you're doing. I'm going to be ok.
You also must know that you're never going to lose me. When I walk down that aisle I hope I feel you there. I know logically this is an impossible task and pointless thought but just this once I want Booth to be right and I want to be wrong. I hope you will be there when Dad gives me away and it'll be both of you doing so. And giving me away isn't goodbye. As you watch me walk down to my future I hope that there are tears of joy in your eyes. Because he is so right for me. He's exactly what I need and we fir so well together. He's a good man. A very good man.
I hope that when I watch my baby grow up I'll only want what's best for her. And I hope she finds the answers to our prayers. I hope she finds someone like Dad and like Booth. Someone who's going to be there and protect her and love her. I want her to be able to say that he's a good man and that he treats her like she should be treated. She should be able to say that he makes promises he keeps and that he's never going to leave.
But Mama you don't have to worry about me. I'm doing alright and I know I'm a lucky woman. Booth is a strong man and I know that he's going to be there for me and that there is a future ahead, a good future. With a family and children with a really amazing husband.
Love,
Temperance
