More Than Blood
Nikolai,
I apologize for not corresponding more often. The Starfleet cultural team has delivered each of your letters to me, but I have been remiss in writing back.
No, I have avoided writing, because I did not wish you to share my unhappiness. Your letters are always about your children, and I did not want to burden you with the problems the Federation was facing. But you are family, and I find that I have few others to turn to.
My wife is dead.
You had never met Jadzia, but I had spoken of you to her often, and she was encouraging me to visit you again, when the war with the Dominion had ended. I believe you would have liked her- she had a warrior’s spirit, but she also made me laugh, something you have long encouraged me to do more often. I cannot speak of it more in this letter, as the circumstances of her death were… complicated.
I would still like to visit, if you will have me, but I do not know when my duties will permit it now. I would like to bring Alexander, to meet his cousins.
I have been reflecting recently on the importance of family, but mostly I have been thinking that there is much I would like to discuss with my brother. We have often disagreed, Nikolai, but you are my family, and I would value your company, if not your council.
Your Brother,
Worf
