Ditzy Doo lies on a bed, IVs hooked into her frail rotting body, as the doctors attempt to ease her pain as she passes; the oldest living ghoul-pony that never turned feral. It is late at night, and all the nurses and doctors have gone home, except for those required on staff. All is quiet, except for a faint VWORP sound in the distance that no-pony else noticed. As soon as the ghoul-pony hears the noise she never thought she would hear again, she opens her decrepit eyes to see a brown-haired Pegasus with a hourglass as a cutie mark.
He goes to start speaking, but she interrupts him with a grunt, pointing weakly at her chalk board by her bed.
He grabs the board and a chalk and places the board on the bed, and gives her the chalk. She writes on the board, with great difficulty, "Can't Hear, or Speak. Only Write. Have letter."

Doctor,
Over my long life, I have read your letter so many times I have committed it to memory, even with my mind in it current state. I don't blame you. I am not offended. Do not apologize for what you felt you needed to do. I enjoyed the traveling that you let me participate in. When I first joined you on our first journey, you let me know that at some point in time, I would be unable to travel with you. I understood that from the beginning.
What I don't understand is why you waited so long to visit me after The Last Day. You told me that I was important to the time line, I would have simply told you I could not go with you if you had asked. I realized that you didn't consider that fact when you left and did not come back. I forgive you for that.
I have lived a long and potent life. I build up the company of my dreams, twice, despite my own limitations. I have loved and lived. I have helped those whom would change the world for the better, and have no regrets about the life I have lived. I once asked you what you were the doctor of. I now know. You are a doctor of hope.
Just one thing more. Do not stop because of the grief of my passing. If there is one thing that you have taught me, their is wonder out there in the universe. Go out there and find that wonder, if not for yourself, than for me. There are others that need your help, doctor.
Thank You,
Ditzy Doo.
