51. Stop this train
I am Simon Tam.
I grew up privilieged, blessed with extreme intelligence, and with something so much more important- an unbreakable bond of love with my younger sister, River, who chooses to be known as Qi. I was a respected surgeon, one of the greatest in the galaxy. But I threw away a great future and my freedom for her sake. The details are unimportant, but both in my previous life and here, I learned to do without my wealth, without my social status, without my priviliege. It wasn't always easy. I have made mistakes and bad decisions and suffered for them. I have had to learn to stand on my own feet, to be strong, for her sake, for mine, and for others'.
I can say with certainty that I would not be here if it had not been for you here in Edensphere, my loved ones, the friends I've gained, the family group who adopted me and loved me more than my parents ever did. Who always supported me, no matter what, who helped pick me up after my mistakes, who never gave up on me even when I wanted to give up on myself.
"Thank you" seems inadequate, but all of you have my gratitude from the very bottom of my heart.
Kaylee, who some of you knew as Serenity, is waiting for me back where I came from. We were are in love- passionately in love, and while I have not made a final decision yet... I believe I belong with her. My heart wants it. Even aside from that... if there is a way to come back, a way to visit others, if someone finds it, I hope to never lose touch with any of you.
