((Hopes making a personal log entry looking at this picture. The last picture taken before Roses passing to Katherines' care.))

*computer start beep* Rose, my dear Rose-Gardens. Looking back at how we met close up the first time. I awoke in Fleet Medicals Sickbay with your gaze looking into mine from above.
I'd been doing some close quarters sparing practise against four fellow cadets of the opposing team. They had been listening to what they've been told about fighting taur beings and I managed to get disarmed and knocked out fast.
Anyway I don't know why but no matter what time of day it was always you how came around to check on me. I was still in my teens when you came into my life.
Rose, that day you stole my hearts away. You managed to convince me not to go through the procedures to become fully male. My family supported me either way but some still raised their concerns about doing it.
Shortly after a year after meeting we became denmates. We took some leave after the graduation ceremony. On said leave Rose exclaimed hir wish to have a child. Both of us being more to our masculine side presented a problem. So after a week of making lots of careless love I was the one that got pregnant.
I don't know if you planned it or not but I'm pretty sure it was fate. I remember how family was happy to hear the news about my cub. Many even told me that they though I'd never be a mother of a cub.
we had our great times and our share of loud arguments and cursing at each other. but in the end we went along well even though I was very whinny about my pregnancy. We loved our cub whom we after hir birth named Andreas Sapphiremane Longfall.
Now a little over a year after the joy of being able to hold our cub in our arms I'm forced to make this log a personal log for me to remember you. *Computer pause then save beep boop. Attaching photo to log.*

"I wish I didn't have to send you to your final resting place at the age of 55. But fate decided to put us together and pull us apart. leaving me with my duties as a Starfleet officer and the Mother of a one year old cub."
