A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short but, I wanted Jasper's letter to be a separate chapter altogether. I'd love if you review for what little is here. lol

Dear Mother,

I am sad I have to go but, happy to know I will be able to provide and protect you and Alesa both. I am sorry about not telling you, I didn't think I could bare being told to stay, I know I'd most likely feel inclined to obey to your wishes and I knew deep down I couldn't. My father was a great man and he loved us all, I'm sorry he had to leave... Sometimes you made it seem as though it were his choice. He loved us and would have fought anything in this world to stay with us. He loved you and I'm sorry he's gone.

I know he would like to look down at you on earth and see you smile once more, I know he would love to see you care for Alesa like a mother cares for a daughter. I know you love us both but, she needs to know. I have never heard you speak those three words to anyone, ever. Not me. Not Alesa. I know you said it to father but, I have never heard you utter the words.

I have finished my chores for the day, tomorrow, and the next after that. I have worked hard all week to have this much done for you. Take care of Alesa. When I get the money I will send what I can, for food and medicines. I pray to god they accept me into rank, I also pray I can make it back home one day. I love you both deeply and I'm sorry I had to leave.

ALESA POV--

I watched as mother set down the note, covered in her tears. I wanted to give her a hug. I wanted to make her feel better. I did not know how... I sat on the floor a few feet away. I watched her cry. I know it makes me sound mean but, I did not want her to stop. It was wrong to say it made me feel better to know she loved us lots to cry like this. But it did make me feel better. I never thought she loved me before today. She had never said it, not once but, now I knew.

Better than that she got up and picked me up in her arms. She hugged me for the first time since I was a baby and said she loved me. Now I really knew.
