Letter 5 - Dear Duck

Dear Daniel

I am writing this letter with great joy. After all this time, I finally see that you are alright. Words can't express how happy I am to finally know that you are well. If only you could see my smiling face now. Do you know how I managed to finally find you after all this time?

I saw you on television. And what did I see you do? Taking down evil villains and monsters, and protecting the city from terrifying disasters. Who would have thought that my little Daniel Duck would grow-up to be so amazing? But then again, I have always been proud of who you are. I could never be a prouder parent no matter how hard I tried.

If only your father knew that you would become someone he would be proud to call our son. Because all our other ancestors haven't been so successful in their time, he just assumed that you would be no different. I believed that you would be someone people can look up to and say how much of a good person you are. But no matter how hard I tried to convince him, he still refused to keep you. And so I had no choice but to leave you with the orphanage that night, in order for you to live your life with less disapponment than you would have if you still lived with us.

Now this may enrage you, but both your father and I want to see you someday. You may say that your father would only want to see you now because you've made a household name for yourself. But I want you to understand that we both love you. We both worry whenever you go on those dangerous missions, and we fear that you may not come back alive with every mission you go to.

But no matter what you do or who manage to become, we will always love you. Just promise us you'll stay alive long enough for us to be able to talk when you can.

Remember, we will always love you.
