So Proud from Mom and Dad

Heiassa,   You know that your father and I are always proud of you. Tira visited. She showed us illusions of the places you've been and the wings you've grown. You're beautiful and in every image she showed, the smile on your face was bright enough to cast shadows for miles. We miss you, and we hope that the return of your apprentice means you'll be able to visit soon.   In joyous news, your little sister and her husband made it back from Lonael! You have a new little nephew they're calling Blossom. Evidently the thing your sister needed to finally give me a grandchild was to spend months running in fear for her life, pretending reach night with her husband would be her last. I can't imagine doing THAT while on the run from those beasts but clearly she's made of sterner stuff. She must get it from your father's side.   Tira also told me about your son. He's just as beautiful as you are. Tell him that grandma wants to see him and that grandpa wants to teach him about your citrus trees. Tira says that the magic can't send anything as heavy as marmalade but a little silk bookmark should be fine. I know you'll make sure he has plenty to read!   Be well in the shade of fruit trees, even if they aren't oranges. We miss you and we love you.   Mom & Dad
