Dear Gale,

To be honest I think that I was prepared for being queen when I began to see the plan Aly had for your mother. Deep down I always knew it would be me.

Taking on such great responsibility was difficult but my friends and family helped me through it.

Your second question is very difficult. I don't know how to answer that precisely.

I ask that you give me some time to think of how to put it.

Your aunt,
Dove.
