"Now stop this foolishness." (or) Here is a letter that you sent...
(hypothetically ofcourse)
...
Dear Children,
Its many years later now since I kicked-the-bucket,
but I want to express my grave sorrow on the pain you all
are now receiving from Evil. Yes, I choose not to fight Evil
with the only know weapons able to defent it, them evil acts.
Thusly allowing Evil to continue into your, my children, lives.
Yes, rather than I your parent making the supreme sacifice
to lower my humanity to that of Evil, I choose not to so that
I kept myself pure as snow. Sorry my childen that I could not
step up to the plate and save you from Evil. Now you may choose
to honor your father and do the same to your children in my name,
that being allow Evil to inflict its hand onto your children.
