Dear Dad,
I'm sorry that I didn't have a chance to say goodbye properly to you or Mom. There were a lot of things that I would have liked to say to you.
Since you're my father, it feels fitting that you would give me advice and you always did. You taught me how to bake and what to say to people, you taught me to always stand for what I believe in.
I believe that Katniss deserves a chance at life far more than I do. She was right last year, when she told me I always had enough. I did have enough and now I don't want it, I want Katniss to have it. She spends her whole life looking after her sister and her Mother.
Her mother and sister need her, you don't. I'm sorry if this upsets you but last year, we already said goodbye. In my eyes, my death was just postponed for another year. Nothing has changed. I still want to protect Katniss, even if it means dying myself.
You know what it feels like to be in love, you would do the same for Mum in a heart beat. I learnt that something's are more important than living. I can't live without her Dad, whenever I think about it, I want to die. This is always the way it will be, Katniss must live.
When she comes back to twelve, if she does, than can you make sure she eats well and her family. She plans to die for me, I know she asked Haymitch to make sure I survived and she wouldn't but I can't let that happen. Katniss thinks she owns me but she doesn't. Make sure she doesn't give up.
I love you Dad.
Peeta
