Hi Amy, it's mom. Well, by the time you see this, I won't be here any more, and I know how much that sucks - for both of us. So seeing as how I won't be around to thoroughly annoy you, I thought I would give you a little list of the things that I wish for you.
Well there's the obvious: an education, family, friends, and a life that is full of the unexpected.
Be sure to make mistakes; make a lot of them because there's no better way to learn than to grow, alright?
And I want you to spend a lot of time at the ocean, because the ocean forces you to dream and I insist that you, my girl, be a dreamer.
God. I have never really believed in God. In fact, I've spent a lot of time and energy trying to disprove that God exists; but I hope that you are able to believe in God, because the thing that I've come to realise, sweetheart, is that it just doesn't matter if God exists or not. The important thing is for you to believe in something because I promise you that that belief will keep you warm at night and I want you to feel safe always.
And then there's love. I want you to love to the tips of your fingers and when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it. But you don't have to chase after it either, you just be patient and it'll come to you, I promise, and when you least expect it.
Like you. Like spending the best year of my life with the sweetest, and the smartest and the most beautiful baby girl in the world. And you don't be afraid, sweetheart, and remember: to love is to live.
JACK: Speaking of capability, can I bring up the as yet unspoken subject of Amy here?
JEN: Bad sequeway, English teacher, I think you can do better.
JACK: C'mon, Jen, this is tough.
JEN: I don't want you to feel pressured, Jack.
JACK: I am her godfather.
JEN: I think that when most people sign up for godparent duties, they don't imagine it could ever extend beyond a few babysits.
JACK: I want her. I want her, but I don't know what you and Grams have discussed.
JEN: Grams is aware of the reality of the situation, what with her health and all and we both think that you would make an excellent father.
JEN: One request. Can you please help Amy find a place to be? I feel I never really quite fit.
JACK: Which is why we're us!
JEN: I know. I mean, from the second I stepped out of that cab and onto the creek, I was the instigator, y'know? The girl who caused problems and rocked the creek and upset the delicate emotional balance of Capeside, and... and I don't want Amy to be that person. I want her to belong. I never really feel like I did.
JACK: Jen you belong. You belong to me. Don't you get it? You're my soulmate.
Amy's gonna know love. Every day of her life she is gonna know how much her mother loved her, I'm gonna see to that. OK?
GRAMS: I'll see you soon, child... soon.
