SUBJ: Celebrations.
Salaam, Daddy,
Eid Mubarak. If you’re celebrating today. I don’t know if the moon’s been sighted on Betazed. Actually, I don’t know if that’s even what we follow. Is it local? Is it based on Earth? I’m just following the time on the ship, and since there’s no moon to sight, I’ve done 30. So I’m celebrating tomorrow.
Being close to you this year is strange. Last year I was caught up in the change but this year I’ve had time to think. Normally I’m well away but these days, it’s just a short stop to you. And yes, I know I haven’t visited yet. I’m sorry, I will.
I know that this is a time for family. You didn’t like it when mummy wasn’t around. And then when I left, you hated it. I know. When you’re that age, you don’t think about things like family. I just wanted to follow what mummy did. I feel like maybe I should have stayed a bit longer. But youth has its flaws.
Anyway. I’ve sent some chocolates for you. The Bajoran ones that you like. I’ll see you soon. Come to Risa? The fleet takes a holiday there, and I think you’d enjoy it. It would totally be in the time of your semester break, so you can’t say that you will be busy.
Eid Mubarak, and I love you.
