Do you remember when we were younger, how we would get into the biggest fights? And we would yell until the castle walls shook and eventually Mother or Father would tell us to stop it. We would stop for a while and start back up later. 

Do you remember when I first got Philomena? You threw such a big hissy fit about it that you eventually got your way and ended up with a baby Wendigo and you named it Nocturne and I said it was a stupid name. You got mad, refused to speak to me for days.

Do you remember the day you loved it to death? One moment you were hugging it and the next it was so much mist and was gone. You started bawling. And I walked over and let you play with Philomena for the rest of the week. Do you remember?

Do you remember when I was in love with Discord? Do you remember how jealous you acted and the way you would sulk when I went to meet him instead of playing with you?

Do you remember when he turned evil? You could have said 'I knew it' or 'I told you so.' Instead you said 'I am sorry.' Do you remember the day we found the Elements of Harmony and defeated him? You could have said 'Good riddance' or 'He had to be destroyed.' Instead you said 'I am here for you.' And you were.

Or what about when Mother and Father died? Do you remember it? How I was the one who cried that time? I wept, and you consoled me at their funeral. And when it was time for us to take our places, it was you who rose the sun for those first few days.

I never got to say thank you.

Do you remember when you had that fling with my faithful student, Star Swirl? How, when he left you, I gave you a shoulder to cry on, and a kick on the rump for thinking it could work with such a snobby pony? He got better eventually, but you still refused to ever see him again.

I never told you how much that broke my heart.

Do you remember when we got into an argument and I said that anyone could raise the moon? Do you remember how I said I would one day prove it to you? I never intended to actually do it.

Do you remember the night I banished you? You might not have heard me over the sound of the Elements sending you away.

If you did, the last words you heard me say were "I'm sorry." Do you remember?
