My 18th Birthday

Dear Lupin,

You have not lost your brothers, They are still here. They are within in you. I am honored that you see my father through me. And Remus, you have to know, I love you as a son would love their father.

Remus, before the war, I was afraid to tell you, but now I will. I need you. I've needed you since you first came into my life. I need you because you are my last link to my parents, yet you are so much more. I see my father and Sirius through you, but I also see you. I see your wisdom and your funloving attitude. I see the bookworm side of you, and I see the loving side of you.

Remus, I know you've never had a child, but you do have a son. I am your son, and I am proud to say this.

Love

Harry
