As you might have all heard, I've graduated! I'd like to thank Persephone for being my warden, and Howie, you helped a lot, too. I'm sorry I won't be able to do anything for Christmas with you.
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
I think that I have been changed for the better,
And because I knew you
I have been changed for good.
Dear Santa,
I won't need anything, because I'll be going home, somewhere far away from Hope Falls so I can try again at living my life, but I'd like you to give some things to other people.
For Persephone, give her a few bags of potting soil.
For Howie, give him one of those miniature nativity scenes. A really nice one.
And give Erik high quality voice recording equipment, so he can record his singing and play it back without it losing its sound quality.
And for everyone who helped take me down when I drank Arthas's...stuff, give them a bottle of whatever their favorite drink is.
And give everyone on the Barge, even people I've already listed, a box of chocolates. Unless they're a vampire, or something else that doesn't eat chocolate. Then give them their favorite kind of blood or whatever it is they do eat.
