Dear Family,
I can't stay here, not anymore... I'm not the same girl anymore, but I want you all to know I will always love you. Please understand my decision and don't come looking for me, I won't be there when you get there. I hope to see you all one day, but until then... This is goodbye. Tell Judith that I wish I could have been here to see her take her first steps, that I loved her more than anything, and that I am so proud of her no matter what... but I had to leave. Stay safe in this world, we'll find a cure for this one day... If only there was a cure for a broken heart, I might have stayed. I would have only brought you all down, I am the weakest one of the group, so I'm leaving to protect all of you... But here is a little note for each of you:
Daddy: I love you so much Daddy, I hope you know that. You know what I'm going through, that words of advice can't help me, but I'm so sorry I can't stay at the prison with you guys anymore. Being here, living here, I just can't do it anymore. I'll be okay Daddy, you don't need to worry about me.
Maggie: I remember when we were younger, you always took up for me and stood by my side... You were a force to be reckoned with, even the walkers couldn't stop you. I hope you always stay like that, the strongest link that knew what to always do. I love you so much, just keep that in mind. Please stand by my decision to do this, I have to... I'll see you again, Maggie.
Glenn: My sister's husband. Weird, huh? I'm amazed at how well you can handle her temper at times, I know I never could. I love you Glenn, keep her safe for me... Okay?
Rick: Thank you for taking my family in your group, I could never repay you enough for that. You lost your way when Lorrie left, but you managed to get through it for Carl and Judith and I envy you for that. I love you Rick and thank you for letting me take care of Judith while I could... Please, take care of everyone for me.
Judith: When you were born, and they handed you to me, I only remember feeling sadness for your mother and pride that you made it. I used to imagine who you'd be if the world was different... Would you be a doctor? A lawyer? A cop, like your dad? Or would you be a teacher? I guess we'll never know. I love you so much baby girl, I hope they tell you all kinds of stories about me. I might have not given birth to you, but you were the only daughter I would have ever gotten to have. I hope you never experience what I've been through, the pain I've felt, I just want you to be the happy little girl I used to hold in my arms until you fell asleep. I hope more than anything, to see you again one day.
Carl: You are the toughest little boy I have ever known, you know that? Always doing what you had to just like the rest of us, but you're growing up in this world. We keep on living with the dead, just waiting until we're like them... But you're different. You've challenged us and gave us something to keep us on our toes. I love you Carl, take care of Judith and your dad for me, okay?
Michonne: I didn't really get to know you as well as the rest, watching a baby does that to you. I know you're a survivor, you can make it through this world. Just always remember that, okay? I wish we got to know each other better.
Carol: I don't exactly know what to say to you, other than thank you. You swoop in and became a motherly figure to me. I hope you know how lucky you are Carol, to have someone like Daryl love you. I was once someone I thought he loved... but I guess he loves you more than he will ever love me. I just wanted him to be happy, I hope he's happy with you because he deserves it... You both do. Thank you, Carol, take care of him for me... Please.
Daryl: I love you Daryl, I always have and always will. I know you said you didn't feel the same, but I can't bring myself to believe it... I don't want to believe it. I hope you're happy with Carol, my heart just can't let you go. Who am I to stand in your way? I won't, not when she is the one you want. I wish my love was enough to make you stay, but it, I, wasn't enough. I could have stayed, but I just can't stand the thought of you being with her. I really hope you can forgive me for everything I've ever said or done. Just trust me, if this is how it's meant to be... I'll just fade away. But please remember this... When it finally feels true, then do what you have to, no matter who the girl is. I've never blamed you for not wanting me, I never will, the heart just wants what it wants I guess. I'm going to miss you so bad, Daryl Dixon...
