At one point in life, I wasn't sure where I would be or what I would be doing. I was, well, lost. Told that my desires were nothing but a dream and that they would lead me nowhere in life, to just accept mediocracy and move on, that my happiness meant nothing.
Yet both of you stood there, louder than anyone I had in my past, coaching me on and on. How you both were so happy to see me excel and reach for goals that some would find unobtainable or even a daydreamers wish. Yet you never gave up, you always told me to keep my head up and keep moving forward.
Nothing was more exciting to realize that two readers of the Capital Series, were you two. You tried not to say anything but finally couldn't by book six, you both couldn't find the words to describe how proud you were. How I just proved to you that I was able to tell the world they were wrong. And that was just of a boost to my esteem as my readers now.
Now I see you both, no longer the vibrate souls I knew so well, the ones that carried me so high in their arms. I never watched you struggle with anything but now, I am. I hold it back as it kills me to see you both like this. To see you struggle to breathe or even remember a name. It kills me to know that one day I will get a phone call saying that you are gone.
But that's where Age of Canada really comes in. It's not the typical capital with issues and nation help them along, no this was really about accepting the fate that is before Marissa and finally letting go. This wasn't like the others, for it really is about what's happening now.
So as you read, I want you to know. I'm glad you are proud of me and how far I have reached in life. I'm glad you saw the best in me when the world didn't, I'm glad that you have been reading and still are, of all my works. And last but not least, I'm glad to call you my grandparents, for you are what made me, me.
Always know that I look up to you both and that I love you so much. Your Muncharoon.
AnaJo.
