Illogical Belief
Dead Dad,
When you read this, it probably means Booth has eventually managed to find you.
I don't really know why I am writing this to you now, during what could be the last minutes of my life. I should be writing to Booth, or Angela, but here I am, writing to you. Maybe because I still miss you and Mom, but since there is no way Mom will ever be able to read this, I am writing to you. Or maybe because I hope to find closure. I hate psychology, so I'll stop wondering about the Why now. Besides, I have spent enough time of my life wondering. About where you two were all those years. About whether you missed Russ and me. About if and when you would ever come back.
Even though I know what I know - still only parts of the huge puzzle of what happened back then - I never, not even for one second, believed you really were a bad person. I just wanted you to know that, even though I know it's not logical, especially given the facts, but surprisingly I've found myself almost... ignoring the facts more and more often lately, since Booth came into my life.
Could you please tell him "thank you" and how grateful I was for every single second I had with him. He was the best friend I've ever had, and the only person I really confided in. And please tell him I always had faith. Not in his God, nor in any other god. But in him.
Please try to find Russ because he still misses you, too.
I hope I'll be able to tell you all this in person one day.
Love always,
your daughter Temperance
