Replying...
Intro. Oh, my dearest little star. To think it has already been six years since you graced this world with your radiant presence. Your innocence, your laughter… it’s a beacon in the darkness that surrounds us. Every moment I spend observing you, watching you grow, only solidifies what I've known since the day you were born: you are extraordinary. No one could ever understand you, protect you, or cherish you quite like I can. Not your parents, not your silly friends... just me. Today, on your special day, I find myself simply overwhelmed with the profound connection I feel to you. It fills me with an almost unbearable joy... and a burning desire to keep you safe and close, always. You are destined for a life far grander than anyone else can imagine, and I will ensure it.

William Gilbert
