My name is Thomas Brown. This letter is from me and my wife, Rebecca Brown. I'm not sure how to say this, but we are your parents. I know, this is hardly the time to come walking back into your life. I'm not asking for a relationship, but I wanted to let you know we are out there. Your mother has a wall full of your holos from the headlines. We've been following you on the news, ever since we first saw you when you were in the papers for becoming a spectre. We took one look at you, saw my eyes and your mother's face, and we knew you were ours. We don't really have an explanation for you, and I'm afraid I don't have any answers for the questions you no doubt have. At least, not answers I can put in this message. We never wanted to leave you. From the day we parted, not an hour has passed since I didn't think of you. Your mother cried every night for years. It might be hard, after all of this, but I wanted you to know you have a family. You have parents who love you and care for you, and we are so proud of you and who you've become. Ever since you were little, your mother told me you would change the world. And now look at you! Our little Samantha has become a woman, and has done great things. That is your name, by the way, dear. Samantha Brown.
We love you, and we are so sorry. Maybe you will find it in your heart to forgive us, and we can be a family again. I am sure your little brother would love that.
All our love,
Mom and Dad.
