Dear Finn,
You must be surprised to receive this letter, especially from us. Please dear, keep reading, because we have important things to tell you. As you can see it by yourself, this letter is written by Hiram and me (LeRoy) from California. We know you are aware of our new residence's location. Indeed, Finn, we found our precious daughter crying floods of tears one morning over a letter. With all the concerns and worries, normal parents should have, we asked her what was wrong. How flabbergasted we were, after we learned that you were the one causing her all this pain. Rachel reluctantly, let us read your letter. This is the main reason of our writing.
Finn, our baby girl made her decision, she explain it to you and even gave you the reasons of this choice. She decided not to be a part of your life anymore and to continue hers with someone else; it's her choice, not ours. You know, it happens to everyone who grows up; you find out who you truly are and what you care about. We know, you might surely be thinking that we were the one "pushing" you away of her life, or that we are pleased to know that you are no longer her boyfriend and fiancé. But please, believe us when we say that we loved having you around back in Lima. You were good to our girl, you genuinely made her happy. We know, she meant and still means a lot to you – you two really made a cute couple and complemented each other. And as much as it hurts us to say this, we have to admit that you brought Rachel, something we were never able to offer her. You were her first love, and this kind of love, leaves a mark in you – so take comfort in the fact that wherever she will be, she will never forget that. We are not saying this to cheer you up, we are simply being honest. When she got home after every one of your dates, she was always widely smiling, joyful and jumping on her feet – she was herself. Hiram and I, remember when our baby girl told us that she was in love and that you were the one her heart had chosen, but sadly you weren't sharing the same feelings. But one day, our precious angel came home and she was beaming, hyper, happier than ever and that is when we knew that something had happened between the two of you. You truly have no idea, of how much joy you brought in her life.
You know Rachel's life is not easy. She has two gay dads, her mother is the torment and tragedy of her life and people are not always willing to accept her determination, dreams and odd life style. But you did it, you accepted her for who she is and for what she stands for, you never tried to change her; you accepted all of these things that one would say are her defaults or the bad side of her personality; but you embraced her personality and love those aspects of her life, that even herself has hard time to accept. Finn, we will never thank you enough for that. And we know we were kind of harsh with you for the wedding "thing", but what you did in the end, was the best thing you could have done. We were so thankful and proud of you. And that is the day, you have completely earn our respect, approbation and most of all, that's the day we accepted you in our family, because we knew you really, truly, sincerely, genuinely, deeply loved our little princess.
Now Finn we have to ask you something. We demand you not to write to Rachel anymore. No letters, no mails, no phone calls, no emails, no Facebook or Twitter messages, no texting – nothing. Don't try to reach her by any ways given by any new technologies we wouldn't know about (see the previous list). It saddens us to do that, but it's Rachel's life, and you have to respect her choices, as tough as they are. So please, Finn, please never try to contact us ever again. We know this might sounds really harsh and inappropriate coming from us, but it will only do you good. Maybe it isn't our place to tell you this, and it's probably true, but you have to let go. It's hard, because you realize she already did, but you cannot keep living your life for her, you have to do what is good and what is right for you. We know Rachel already told you to "let go"; and she's right. You're a great kid, Finn; you have your life waiting for you, you are young and you have many great things to accomplish. It's only the beginning for you. You are going to be an amazing man later in life, so don't waste your time. Girlfriends and friends come and go, just focus on you and what's good for your future. That's what Rachel wants for you, and so do we.
It was nice knowing you and having you in Rachel and our lives. We will always remember you as a respectable and great friend and boyfriend.
Sincerely and farewell,
Mr. Hiram and Mr. LeRoy Berry
