“Hi Temperance, it’s mom. I don’t know when or if you’ll ever see this, but I hope to put it in your hands myself and see you again, with my own eyes. This is a hard, hard world. Your father and I left you and Russ to save your lives. People would have killed you to get us. That’s not what this is about. Today is your sixteenth birthday. I’m so sorry not to be there to tell you all the things a mother should tell her daughter when she turns sixteen and sorry not to give you this (holds up the ring Brennan’s father gave her). It’s an heirloom. And starting today, it’s yours. I don’t know how long it will take me to get it to you, but I promise you I will. You’re going to hear a lot of things about your parents, especially your father. He is a good man. It was my insistence to leave you kids. Max would have kept us together, fought until the end, I’m not sure he’ll ever forgive me for that. So please Temperance, I need you to forgive me and if you can’t forgive me, I beg you honey, if you can’t forgive me please forgive your father. Remember you were loved in this world, cherished. What I did to you may have been wrong, but I did it out of love, I did it out of love.” - Christine Brennan Ruth Keenan
