DEAR MR. MULDER
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Mr. Mulder,

I've always prided myself on being an honest man. I have never been shy
in letting anyone know what I feel. So here it is: I never liked you. In
fact, I loathed you from the start. But now, as I sit here, listening to
my wife cuddle our toddler in her arms in the next room, I am humbled.

Today we learned that Dana was pregnant. Never in a million years did we
expect such news. Our first reaction was utter joy. A miracle. There was
laughter ... and then came the tears.

Your baby. When I first heard those words, I was filled with a rage I
cannot describe. But you're not here. Mr. Mulder, when I heard that news, 
the rage disappeared as quickly as it came.

Dana cries for you. Try as I might, I've never understood you, nor her
for that matter. I've never understood the work you do, or your beliefs.
But I've understood the bond between two people. I love my wife with
everything I have, and my child ... I can't put it to words. I cannot
even begin to explain that feeling you get when you look into the eyes
of your child.  It can bring any man to his knees. I know that for a
fact.

I've taken for granted many things in my life, including my family,
which I hold dearest to me. And as I now hear our beautiful baby being
lulled to sleep by my wife's gentle voice, tears escape me - tears I
dare not show another soul. I'm not crying for me, and my selfishness.
I'm crying for Dana, and the pain she must be living day in and day out.

And also, Mr. Mulder, I'm crying for you. I hope to God you will one
day know the pure joy of holding your child for the first time, looking
into their eyes, and knowing that you helped bring this perfect little
human being into the world.  That has always been Dana's dream - and by
the grace of God, she is finally going to be able to achieve that. But
doing it without you, it just won't be hers anymore. But inside of her
right now is a life. And this life is part of you. Something she will
always have regardless of what happens.

Nobody can ever take that away from her.

Until now, I never liked you. In fact, I loathed you from the start. But
as I see my little sister, my only sister left, wracked with a sorrow I
can never understand, I would give anything to see you back in her life.
Now I finally understand why she never left your side.

And I know, that if you could be at her side right now, you would give up
everything you own. Even your little green men.

	I salute you, you sorry son of a bitch. We will meet again.
