Since you both sent the same people for those letters, I figured I'd just do it this way.

Dear Mama,

So, I know that you died a long time ago. I was too young to really remember you and if I was honest, I find myself kind of glad. Not because I don't love you or wish you were here because I do. I'm glad because if I could remember you, I'm sure I would be sad all the time. Mama, if you could read this letter, I would want you to know one thing. Papa is the best father I could have ever wished for. I remember when I was about five and I asked him about you. I made him sad and ever since, I've not asked about you anymore. But I think of you everyday. I love you Mama and I do miss you.

Your daughter, Grace

Dear Papa,

It's been a while now since we were finally reunited. I'm writing this letter as you sleep. I can hear you snoring, Papa! You make funny noises when you sleep. Anyway, the reason I'm writing this to you is because there are things I could never say. Ever since that moment I made you cry all those years ago, I've not asked about my mama. But I want to know about her. I won't dare ask again though. Papa, there is something else. I know that you've been different with me since the magic happened. But, I want you to know that I'm still your little girl. I always will be. I love you, Papa. You're all I need in this world. Even if I fall in love one day, you'll always be the most important person in my life.
