User blog comment:Bluegear93/Spacer background, Shepard's father ?/@comment-69.40.62.229-20130201180724

I have been wondering the same thing. Normally I play as a Colonist or Earthborn with the War Hero background, but I did finally decide to play as a Spacer for full Paragon. I know she talks to her mother, Hannah, in ME1 and recieves an email from her in ME2 and Admiral Hackett tells Shepard that Hannah was promoted to Rear Admiral and was helping on Project Crucible in ME3. Also, she does say that it was a "relief to hear" that she was okay in ME3. I see a lot of comments about how Shepard never said "I love you" to her mom, but her mother never said it either in ME1. Truth be told, we don't know if Shepard did or did not send her an email back in ME2. I'm going to assume that her father was killed at some point during his service in the Alliance since they only ever mention her mother.
