If you're reading this
And My mama's sitting there
Looks like I only got a one-way ticket over here
I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
And war was just a game we played when we were kids
Well I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God
And we're both watching over you

I want tears and sadness and ripped out hearts and a small comfort for her that part of John is with her in their daughter.

God, I'm already crying. Q_Q

She was sitting in the living room with Harry and her mother-in-law on her sides when the doorbell rang. Mrs Hudson, who was in the kitchen, hurried down the stairs to open the door. When she came back, she was followed by DI Lestrade and Mycroft.

“I know I am the last person you want to see right now, sister, but Lestrade and I ---“ He couldn’t finish his sentence because Sherlock looped her arms around his shoulder and buried her face in his neck.

“Mycroft. John is not coming back. He’s dead.” Her voice was barely audible and trailed off on the last word and her shoulders trembled and she tried to stifle a moan in his clothes. He stroked her hair and held her tight, taken aback by her sudden need to be held

“Dear Sherlock,

If you're reading this and my Mama’s sitting there then it looks like I only got a one way ticket over here. I sure wish I could give you one more kissä and hold you tight. I know I said I wanted to come here but that was before I met you, before we decided that we want a child. When I was younger and had nobody to be responsible for, I had big dreams of defending my country, but war was just a game we played when we were kids.

If you're reading this, half way around the world, then I won’t be there to see the birth of our little girl. I hope she looks like you, dark curls, pale skin and sparky, blue eyes, but I hope she fights like me and stands up for the innocent and the weak.

If you're reading this, then there's going to come a day when you'll move on and find someone else and that's okay. I know it is going to be hard and that you do not want to, but Sherlock, love, I want you to be happy and if that makes you happy, please, don’t deem yourself eternal loneliness. Just remember this, I’m in a better place,

A huge and ugly yell escaped Sherlock’s throat when she finished reading as she slid from the arm of the couch to the ground and pressed the letter to her heart as hard as she could. Her head touched the carpet as she rocked back and forth, mumbling John’s name as a mantra. Familiar hands stroked her back and rocked with her and she held her hand out to squeeze Mycroft’s. Everyone in the room was struggling with their tears. They haven’t read John’s words but the sight of Sherlock was enough to break everyone’s heart

Wow. Thank you so much for finishing this story. The end definitely made me cry but it was so worth it.
