Dear Melissa,

Something else I've written for you. I know that Shannon isn't exactly the most open person ever, so even if you have managed to find her, she might not be much use to you. But hey. That's what I've written these for.

I've told you about the histories of the families. Now to move onto you.

Not to sound too creepy, but I have been keeping tabs on you for quite a while now. Not too much, just checking up, to monitor your progress and see how you are doing. And I have to be honest, I'm impressed. With both you and your daughter. And that both fills me with optimism and absolutely terrifies me.
