That I am, and that I will always be. The bond between us is so much more than anyone, Sinclair, Tenenbaum, Suchong, even my mother could ever understand. We are Father and Daughter not because of some random accident of birth, but by choice. By love. And in that, I think we are stronger than any family.

But still I find myself mourning the loss of the life you once had, and how much better it might have been for you had you never found Rapture. I love you, Father, and always will, but you did deserve much better. I hold your hand and I can feel your love and I hold onto that, pushing the guilt away and replacing it with joy. "I love you, too. So, when can I meet this friend of yours? Can she come over some evening, for dinner maybe?"
