However it came out, I understand, and the experiences you haven't had with me, are equal in the experiences I never had with you.
I want you to know, that when we first reunited and you were only seven years old, bonding with you, painting, seeing you mend that butterfly with your unbound powers, meant more to me than anything. Getting to know my daughter, and how caring she was, her affinity for delicious and expensive New Orleans cuisine. I don't know if I would redo anything, what with these time-line discrepancies, because I was different then, but I do wish I hadn't gotten caught up in my 'mad' persona. Not being near you hurt more than I liked to admit, and staying away made things easier, on the both of us I had thought, but I didn't much consider you in the equation, did I? I thought you'd be in fine hands with Hayley. I never apologized for that, for the sacrifice I made that tore me away the first time, or why I stayed away so long the second.
