2002
Hello Sunflower,
it's Mama. Your Mama. Your heartbroken mother to be quite truthful. Today I was force to make a decision, a big decision that needed more time than I was given. My job has put us in big danger and trust me when I tell you that my decision was for the best for you. I can't reveal much in this letter about what has happened even thought I am quite doubtful that you will ever get a chance to read this letter. But it is a matter of life and death even though I am faking my own death but I have chosen to make sure your Daddy and yourself do not die because these people only want me dead.
Sunflower, please accept my apology for what I am about to do to you but do believe that this is for the very best. Through the grief I hope you find the comfort in knowing that I am okay where ever the universe has decided to take me and hope that maybe one day we are brought to each other safely again. I do believe we will see each other again and I will believe that to keep sane.
My Sunflower, you are the best thing that has happened in my life and there is nothing in this decision that was easy to make. Leaving you is creating a pain I never endured before and it hasn't even been a hour since I last seen you. You were wearing a white dress in our garden of Sunflowers with your brown wavy hair flowing in the early morning sunlight. Oh baby, you looked so sweet and innocent unaware of the dangers of the real world. And your daddy was sitting with his cup of coffee and a newspaper laughing as we both watched you chasing around a butterfly among the sun flowers. My little Sunflower.
Sunflower, please remember that Mama loves you unconditionally. There is nothing in this world that would make me ever lose my love towards you.. And the distance I am about to put between us both is going to hurt me just as much it will hurt you. I hope they are right about this choice and I hope this keeps you safe at least.
I love you, my little Sunflower...

She placed the pen down and the tears flowed down her face as she felt someone placed a warm hand on top of her shoulder. "I am sorry that you even needed to make this decision." She looked up at her captain who seemed concern.
"Yeah I am sorry too." Stef replied as she wiped her eyes and folded the letter written to her daughter, Callie. Then placed it in an envelope and labeled it 'To my Sunflower' then dated it 2002. Stef then stood up and looked up at her captain with a forced smile. "So when does it all kick off.." And from that sentence, life changed forever for Stef and life changed forever for her family.
The first chapter of a new story and I hope you all will enjoy this story as much as I enjoy writing. Give it some love! x
