Earth.

I still can't believe it. Frak, I still can't believe that Karl actually made it out alive. So many people died trying to save my daughter. I guess, from that, I can finally, finally say that I'm family. That everyone has accepted me.

The Old Man didn't have to do a suicide mission to save her, but he did. People didn't have to volunteer, but they did. I wonder though... all the people who didn't volunteer for the mission -- how do they feel about it now?

Just a thought.

I guess it doesn't matter, though. Everyone's here, on Earth, the Earth that Kara found for us, and my daughter is safe finally. My little family is safe, too, but we have so much work left to do.

No technology at all is going to be a challenge, but I'm going to be the best hunter ever, and I'll teach Hera everything she needs to know. Kara's gone. Lee didn't tell me how or when or why, but she's just... gone. The only real female friend that I had, and she's gone.

The Old Man's gone, too, and I didn't even get to say goodbye or thank you. I get he wanted to be with President Roslin, but it would've been nice to be able to say goodbye.

First, Hera lost Aunt Dee and now I lost Kara and Admiral Adama. Frankly, I'm feeling like Lee right about now.

I need to see you. We need to talk about all of this. I know you don't want to talk to anyone right now and you'd rather just go off and do your own thing, but... now that it's all over, I need you. I miss you.

We tried to build a civilization while we searched for Earth, and now we're going to have to do the same thing even though we found it. Different leaders, different rules. Different everything, but at least I finally have hope for us all that humans and Cylons can actually live together in peace. Ironically, the very thing that Boomer had wanted all along before I killed her.

It's a chance for a new life. I just don't know with who right now.

It was worth it. Not just for your daughter, but for all of us.

And if I see you, I'll be happy to tell you all about Kara and my father and how they said goodbye.

I... I'll try to see you. I need to see you, too.

Thank you. I would really appreciate it. I feel a little bit lost not knowing.

Good.

"Lost" is pretty common these days, but I'll do what I can.
