Well, spill it, kid! What does it say? Don't leave me hanging here like a spider on a thread.
Stranger
alright, it says.. "Darling daughter, if you're reading this, it means my words were never enough to keep you safe. If you're strong enough to survive whatever life throws at you, you're strong enough to face this truth. The secrets we keep may not be lies, but they can still hurt. Remember who you are, and remember where you came from. And most importantly, remember that you're stronger than you think. With all my love, Grandad."
