Dear Jeanie,
I received your letter, late of course. (And I read it. All of it.) You're right, I haven't thought of Mom in a while. But, recently, children have been on my mind. Not my own, of course. We just found out that Teyla is pregnant, and, no, it wasn't Sheppard (Kirk). Surprise, surprise. It was one of her people. But, as I think I told you, her people have disappeared. We're looking for them, but so far no luck. Anyway, that got me to thinking. We're all real protective of her and the baby (especially Sheppard). Teyla says it's a boy, by the way. And I was thinking about how we would feel if something happened to Teyla and we were left to explain it to her son. It would be terrible.
I'm sorry I wasn't around more for you. I know you and Mom worked hard to get me through school and now I realize I kind of abandoned you. Honestly, at the time I was focused on getting my Masters… but I guess that doesn't make much of a difference. Just, sorry.
How are you? Are you happy?
Your Brother,
Rodney
