"My parents never loved me, and if my brother did he never showed it. My point is that, I never really knew what it was like to love somebody beyond yourself, unconditionally, before I met James. He was my first and only friend for a very long time, as long as it took to convince Remus we wanted him to be our friend… and for us to notice Peter. I never knew what it was like to love and be loved back until I met those three. I was never sure how to act, how to express myself really, it was pathetic… but I didn't know how much I'd care, sometimes it felt like my heart would burst from pride as we got older, stupider then smarter, then probably stupid again, the best years of my life. We made a great team. After I met James' parents, I honestly couldn't believe it that anybody could be so nice and loving. I think that was what really shaped how I felt towards other people. I followed the people who I loved's examples instead of trying to muddle through on my own. Anyone they loved, I would love, and anyone they hated would earn my hatred too… I regret that sometimes… But I can't say that James hadn't been a good role model as far as picking the right people to love went... As for Lily, well, we didn't always see eye to eye, but after I got to know her, Lily became one of the most wonderful people I could have ever hoped to have met. Before her I hadn't really had friends that were girls. She changed my perspective on so many things, I learnt so many things, sometimes against my will, but I wouldn't have changed her one bit. I don't think she thought she had made much of a difference in me… but she did. She made our lives so much better. I honestly don't know where I would have ended up if this specky git hadn't decided I was worth making a friend out of. He could have chosen anyone, but he chose me… and I got a brother. These two changed my life and I love them with all my heart. I know that, wherever they are, they're happy, and that they're watching over us and their son Harry, and they're proud. Two of the best people I know are gone now… but I know, no matter what, they'll live in our hearts until we can join them. I miss you Lily, I love you James, I'll look after Harry, you don't need to worry about that… don't pull to many pranks without me Jamsie. I'll see you two later. Mischief Managed."
