Hi Daddy,
It's been a while since I've written you a letter huh? I am sorry about that but you know how things go, you get busy and things like that. But you know how much I love you, right?
Because I do love you, Daddy, and I miss you.
Yes, I still miss you even after all of these years and I always will.
But it's gotten better, the ache inside you that comes with missing someone you love. It never really goes away but it's better.
Now... now I am going to miss Mom too.
She died this evening, but I uh suppose you know that because you were there. I know you were because the way Mom's face lit up just before she let out her last breath. I could see it in my mind what was happening: you standing there with your hand out towards Mom, and oh the radiance I saw when she took it.
But more than this, I could see what happened next.
I saw Mom kissing you until you both should have been breathless.
Then I saw you pull apart, and although I couldn't her what you said, I know you probably called her Miss Potts as you always did, and of course, she called you Mr. Stark. Mom told me all about how you calling her Miss Potts and her calling you Mr. Stark was your inside, private joke. I then saw you kiss again, much shorter this time, and then you took her hand, Daddy, and you both danced off into the distance until I couldn't see you anymore.
It was beautiful, and I'm so glad to know you're together again.
FOREVER.
Mom loved me (she always said I was her saving grace), and she made herself a good life after you, but she never ever stopped missing you and I don't believe she was ever quite the same after she lost you. Or so I've concluded after some of the comments I heard Uncle Rhodey and Uncle Happy make
She was so incomplete without you, Daddy, and although I am crying because I miss her, I am also smiling because I know that is no longer the case.
She is whole again.
I wouldn't trade her having the chance at being whole again for anything in the world not even if means I could have her back with me, but I am still going to miss her like I know you've missed her Daddy.
Well, I should try to get some sleep. So goodnight, Mommy, Daddy. I love you both 3000 and beyond into infinity.
Brax, Kelsey, Zoe, Roxey, and Reagan all send their love to you both too.
Say hello to everyone for us, and tell them we love them.
Oh, and I'm sure Peter would want me to say hello and send love for him, MJ, and their kids too! You've got so many grandkids now, Daddy! I wish you could have met them! Oh well you'll have to get Mom to tell you all about them!
Anyway, goodnight and I love you both!
Your Loving Daughter FOREVER,
Morgan
