" Hello Daddy." Irina said sitting down in front of the tomb that held her father. " I know I haven't been to see you in a long time. I'm sorry, there really is no excuse. I just got back from Tsarkoe Selo; I talked with Mom like you always wanted me too. Better late than never right."
Irina sat uncomfortable listening to the sounds of the church. She hadn't been in a church for a long time and considering the way she had spent her life she was surprised she wasn't struck by lightning.
" I'm getting married today. To Jack, you liked him remember. I love him so much; he makes me happy, happier than I ever thought I could be, happier than I deserve to be. I don't deserve any of the things I have now. Jack and Sydney – Sydney is amazing, beautiful and intelligent. She calls me Mom. I don't deserve that but she does. You'd love her. I wish you could have met her. I'm sorry you didn't get to." Irina said suddenly feeling very tired and weak. " I have to get going Daddy but I'll come back soon I promise. I love you and miss you. Bye."
