Letter for Neostriker: Initial one draft

For the Neostriker, I wrote this letter. The idea was to come up with an initial letter that stated the plan that more letters would be arriving to try to teach the heroes. To a certain point, this is what I had in mind for my own children due to the fear that I may not be around to teach them as they mature.

You can read the draft of the short story this letter appears in at

Feel free to comment if you like the integration or not.

My dear children,

I cannot describe the vast joy I had when you were born. I wished I could spend every day with you. However, I know that is not possible, and there may come a day where we will unfortunately be separated. I pray that day does not come soon, but in case it does, I have decided to write a series of letters to help guide you through the many ordeals you will face. How I hope to have these discussions in person, but we do not know the future. But do know this, my love for you is incredibly great.

I have learned that no matter what we may want, God can exceed our expectations. He has repeatedly done this for me anyway I'm incredibly thankful for it, most especially for you.

As a result, I do not have specific goals on what I would like you to become except for this: saints. That is, I want you to become heroes of virtue. I want you to be good people whatever path and career you may take. As such, I hope that the knowledge I share with you will help you achieve that goal and therefore allow you to obtain happiness.

Love,
Your Father
