Hey M; it's about half past ten down here and i just put Alex to bed. He was up a while, talking about you and trying to get me to tell him endless stories; so he could avoid falling asleep. He reminds me so much of you when you were his age; cute and curious. Ive gotta be honest Im pretty mystified by the world these days. I never thought it would really end up like this. Everyones on edge and frantic; desperate to live but barley alive. When you were a child the world was in a state but there was still some hope for it. Now everyday is the beginning of the end; but you’re on a mission to save us all. My baby girl. From Wyoming to the moon. As a child you would ask me where you came from and i’d say love and when you got older you asked where we came from and I'm a man of science in my simple way; so i told you the truth i knew. Life on earth rose from the big bang, bombardments and star dust. Single bodies to single cells to organisms singular in their complexity. With only one like you my Malverine. You did raise the question of god too but i said it was up to you to find what you believe in. So you grew up with our world in atrophy; yet you still flourished.
