My Dear Winnie,

I’m so glad you and your crew are doing well. Meilin’s a sweet little thing, I loved the captures you sent of her! Your Daddy thinks she’s a button if there ever was one. Tell Mal and Inara congratulations, as I said in my previous letter I didn’t even know they were expecting, but I’m glad they’ve got a little blessing of their own. Also, be sure to tell Simon that we’re excited to meet him. All the captures and letters you’ve written make him sound like quite the catch, we’re so happy for you. I’ve prayed many years you’d find someone just like him.

I’m happy to tell you that I don’t think we’re going to need some of your paycheck for a good while. You see someone crash landed their boat nearby your Daddy’s shop, and it turns out it was a core fella who’s Cappasen shut off in entry. Your Daddy and brothers got paid five times the going rate to fix it in two days, and cause of it there’s gonna be some big changes we’ve always wanted. We finally have enough money to move! In a month we’re going to move off of this barren rock and set down somewhere else. We heard there’s a need for air-nautical mechanics on Shadow in the city of New Calgary, and they’re being paid good money and land’s cheap. Plus, it looks like we’ll be closer to our little girl.

Now I don’t have an exact date yet, but we want to try to move and settle so we’ll be here when your folks come for the big cattle drive. I’m so happy just thinking about it! We haven’t seen our baby girl in so long.

Well, I need to go. There’s a lot of plans to make. Happy Yuletide Xiang Dou, and enjoy your gifts!

Love You Always,

Mommy & Daddy

“Sure is Meimei.” Zoe chuckled at her enthusiasm as she flew, the shepherds were all in the galley, keeping to themselves.

“I haven’t seen them in three years.” She sighed wistfully. “And here t
