Dearest Mother & Father, 

​

I apologize for my abrupt leaving.

I did leave of my own volition and there was no foul play.

I am fine. There is no need to come looking for me.

And, please desist in sending any other ships after me.

 

To speak plainly I have grown tired of being treated like a child. 

I wish to find my passion in the way that the rest of the family has been allowed to. 

I will return, in time. Once I do I may then consider taking the path that you've laid out for me. 

​

If something unfortunate happens then the crew who are escorting me shall bring you news and I assume whatever remains of me.

I am wholly prepared for, any consequences to this venture, such things are between me and whatever god's are left out there. 

​

To reiterate this was my choice, please don't look for me.

Lots of Love, 

          Heathcliff Collingwood
