Dimitri,

Well I did it.

Today I officially graduated, Im finally a full fledged guardian. But not just any guardian, no. I am the last Dragomirs guardian.

Thats right, Lissa is my charge.

Are you proud? Its what you wanted isnt it? For me to be completely undistracted from my duties? To pass my trials, which I did, top of the class and highest scores that Saint Vladimirs has seen in years.

I know I should be happy, I should be extatic, its what I wanted my whole life, its all I worked for, its what her parents wanted...

But even as I sat in the crowd, as my name was called and my grades were read out, as I was handed my diploma and told that I would be her main guardian, I couldnt smile, I couldnt find it in me to be happy... Because you werent there.

You werent there to hug me when I got off the stage, or to look at me with all the pride and love shining in your eyes, I didnt get a well done or congratulatory kiss...because You werent there.

It still hurts that youre gone...Where are you Comrade? I miss you...
