Facing Death

Amelia's Letter to Lara

Facing Death is a Document in the Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration DLC Blood Ties. It belongs to the Amelia's Journals set and consists of a letter written by Lara's mother Amelia, that contains her last thoughts about her daughter and husband as she is about to die after the plane crash in the Himalayas.

I can't imaging what Dad felt reading this letter from Mom. I can barely read it without bursting into tears. I hope he came to eventually see Amelia in me.

Description

My love,

It is silent. So peacefully silent now. Even after the madness and chaos of the crash, I can't help but still wonder at the beauty of the mountains. I understand the the magic that drew you here. Please know that... I feel no pain in this moment. Only... immense sadness. Sadness that I couldn't see your smiling face once more... that I'll never meet the wonderful woman our daughter will become.

There is so much to say, but I'm tired. The sun is setting. The cold of night will overwhelm me. I know I will fall asleep soon, and likely never again awaken in this world. I'm... scared, Richard. What lies beyond? You know I've always struggled with faith. So... I'm holding on to yours for now. I'm holding on as best I can, my love. Become the father Lara deserves. Know that I will live on in her.
