Maman, you love me dearly
This I know--
You hold me close to your heart, Papa...
Sweeter than sherbet lemons
Are my accomplishments to you,
Or so you have said many times.
Maman, so often I have failed you both.
I have known well
The times I have let you down.
But you love me still.
On my wedding day, you were there.
Maman, you comforted me
As only a mother could
When I was frightened
And wanted to run away.
Papa, you gave me away
With tears glistening in your eyes.
Just like the tears you shed
As I cradled my baby in my arms,
Knowing full well how much I loved her,
Just as if I had borne her myself.
And I appreciated the love you felt, Maman,
When first you brought
My bebay's blood sister home.
Her sister is my sister.
I, Cielita Serene Dumbledore Black,
Vow to do my best for my family.
Maman, Papa, I, too, have something to say.
In my early childhood I was alone. I did not
Know the family life you provided me with.
I was alone and nearly friendless, and
You took me in and tamed my wild nature.
Thank you for all you have done for me.
Once again I have found my sisters,
and once again I have my family...
All my family. I thank you both.
Love, Kit.
Mum, Dad, let me write next...I just want to
Thank you for everything. I know it's not much,
But thank you for bringing me into this world
And for loving me for who I am. I know I'm not
Perfect or anything, but I'm the one most like you,
Papa, with your hair and the twinkle in my eyes, so
Much like Mum's eyes otherwise. That cool fire in my
Green eyes...when my students see it, they are
Afraid. Terribly afraid. And yet, when they know me,
I am nothing to fear; I am simply Jemma.
I suppose I'll go next, Mum, Father. Thank you.
Thank you for taking me and Rem. It means so
Much to both of us...it's a full moon, so he can't write.
Just know that even in death, I remain
Your faithful daughter, by blood or no,
Gillian Artemis Lupin-Weasley.
Minnie, I hope ye ken that I love ye, and Da as well. I'm sae sorry that I ran from ye to get married to Arthur...
But he's my Albus, Minnie, ye always said I'd find my Albus, an' I'm sae certain I hae found him that I canna
Bear to let him get away. Please, you musna believe I meant to hurt ye.
I'll always be yer wee lassie, no withstandin' the pain...at least I hope ye see it that way. If I've broken yer hearts completely an' there's nae room for love...
Then I simply beg forgiveness from whatever pieces I've left...an' if ye canna forgive, then I understand.
Your humble daughter, youngest and last of all,
Dewey Catriona Dumbledore
