Ronon,
I'm writing you this letter in the event of my death. I am aware that you are not a man of words, and while I respect your need for action, I am obviously not around to indulge in it with you. I know your English isn't very strong, but your Athosian is worse and your people's language was never known to mine.. I would simply like to say that you were the best friend I have ever had. We were the aliens in a city of strange people, and it took your arrival to finally make me stop feeling like an outsider, among these people we have both come to love. Thank you for staying and becoming a part of our team. Thank you for the numerous times you have saved my life, and that of those I care about.. I trust you to protect my family in my absence, which includes you, Rodney, and John. You must do your best to keep everyone safe in my absence. Do not run again my friend. There's nothing to run to out there, and you know it. You belong here, as do I. I trust you, I value you. You are one of the fiercest warriors I have ever had to honor of knowing, and I'm proud to have known you. I hope, that you never have to read this letter, but if you are, than I have perished and left my son motherless. I hate the idea of that, but you all needed me, and I loved being with you all too much to leave it.. I want you to mentor my son. Help him grow up strong. Maybe with the help of the people of Earth, my son will not know the fear we both suffered in the shadow of the Wraith. I know you have lost so much my friend, but I trust that besides our team, that has become a family for us here; you will also find a family for yourself one day. A strong son with your warrior's heart or a beautiful baby girl with the kindness you hide away. I feel deprived I will not get to meet them, but I know they will grow up to be good and honorable people like their father. Live a long and happy life my friend. May you find happiness.
Until we meet again,
Teyla.
