I totally agree.

A lot of people say you are too!

... but you know best what you have experienced. And I have experienced it too. She's just... great!

And thanks. I tried to be what I can. Between her and dad - I could just grow all I wanted. Reaching for the stars. I hope you are too.

She is. I don't know what I would have done without her. I'd probably have ended up living with the weasley's.

That might not have been a horror, and I'm honestly grateful to Molly for doing away with my aunt.

But there were no other hands I would have trusted you to more willingly, out of mine, than my mum's.

And probably I wouldn't have done so well...

Don't say that mum.

And you happen to be one of the two greatest loves of her life.

Yeah, what's the other one?

Your mum. You and your mum are the two greatest loves I have ever known. You'll see when you become a father Teddy. It - it's a kind of love that words can't describe.

You missed Grandad.

What was he like Gran, tell me again

I haven't missed him a bit. He has his very own place in my heart. He's part of your mother and you too.

You would have loved your Grandad so much Teddy. He had a *big* sense of humor. I know many people say that's what's most important when they're looking for someone to spend their lives with but with your Grandfather it was absolutely true.

I was not ... happy at home and when I met your Grandad it was as if someone threw open all the shutters and sunlight just flooded into my world for the first time. *blushes* I probably sound ridiculous, but it's the truth.

Everyone who knew your grandfather loved him. He was just a BIG personality. He was so generous with his things, with his time, with his affection...

And oh how he loved your mother. No one in the world could compare to his 'Dora'. How he would have loved you.

I see a lot of him in you.

Really? What do you see in me that's him?

I never thought I was like him, mum yeah, but that's because of what I can do. Am I like my dad at all?

Your grandfather for all his BIG personality had a sweet soul. On the outside he was brash but he was sensitive to others and kind. You've got that sensitivity and kindness

As for Remus *hold Teddy at arms length*. You have his demeanor. Quiet strength and a reflective side that ... well, to be honest was never your grandfather or your mother's strong suit.

Your mother and grandfather were more likely to just ACT first and ponder the consequences later. I always wanted to spare her the pain of things but your mother- she risked, she dared and when it didn't work out she took her lumps and tried again.

Remus did not have an easy life. I'm sure you know that the prejudices against werewolves effected everything from work to housing. But even in the face of it all he was a truthful, proud man.

That's truly what defines us. How we handle our disappointments.

Yes my Teddy. You're a combination of the people I've loved most in the world. And though it kills me to see you struggle I know it will be worth it because you are going to do great things with your life.
