Starting a new story when I leave the country in two days is not the brightest idea, but I had to write it. Its my take on the letters Nathan wrote, right before going under the knife. Read and review,

"Mate, nothing's going to happen!"

"It's just in case, Ben! If everything goes well, I want you to get rid of them!"

"I'm sick of hearing about these stupid letters, Nathan! Just drop it!"

It was a common surgery, he knew that. And he knew that it was risky.

That was why he was taking the precaution. Uncapping his pen, he poised it above the sheet of paper, unsure of what to write.

Dear Mum,

I know you didn't want me to do this. But I had to, for Chel. We've only just met her- I want her to see Ruby grow up. I have the chance to save someone, to make a difference in the world, and I will.

You and Dad were always there for me, you've stuck by my side from day one. I know I didn't always act it, but I appreciate everything you've ever done. You two worked your butts off to send me to private school, something that Rachel and Ben never got a chance to do. I loved that school- and I didn't tell you that.

Do you remember the year I was eleven, and I came screaming towards you, after seeing the goanna? You provided the comfort no one else could. You always have. My entire life, that's what I appreciated the most. You never judged me, no matter what I did.

Do you remember my graduation? I do. Rachel came back from uni, and you cried. You were always proud of me, no matter what stupid thing I did. You cried more the day I moved out than you did at my wedding- and you were there for me when my marriage fell apart.

I love you and Dad more than anyone in the entire world, and I will love you forever.

Your youngest son,

Nathan
