Dear Princess Celestia,

It’s little ol’ me, Pizzelle. Well, I’m not that old really. It’s just a saying that popped up on my mother’s side three generations ago. That’s what my mother would say. My Uncle thinks she just likes to make things up and my grandmother-

Oh, your daughter wants me to hurry up. She’s such a sweetie. Well then, I really wanted to write to you about the lesson I learned this week. It might not be about friendship, but family and friends are basically the same thing. Anyways, this week I adopted Hikaru. You know, the cute kitsune?

Well the problem was that I didn’t realize how much work goes into caring for a child all the time. I thought it was easy, but no. It’s a tough job that goes throughout the day. It’s back breaking and can be disconcerting at times, but I would never trade any of those moments. Not for the sweetest riches. Having a child is work, but it’s the most satisfying work I’ve ever done, even more then my baking.

I learned that you should never give up on caring for someone else, even when you make the worst kinds of mistakes. They just help you realize you can do better in the future. I hope you come by soon. I’ve got a special next week for cakes.

Sincerely,
Pizzelle

Author's Notes:

Oh this was just a little letter that Pizzelle sent out. I couldn't think of what to say back then, so I originally cut it out, but I thought it'd be good to come up with something. I hope you all enjoy it and enjoy Fanning Our Flames and my other Shimmerverse stories.
