Dear So and So

[skhill]

We lived on a corner when I was growing up, so there was plenty of sidewalk for me and my brother to tend to. Thankfully, this is Kentucky so it only happens a few times every year! These days at home I do my little patch of sidewalk, then the vacant lot next door, then on to the neighbor on the other side. She's a fit 70+, but still doesn't really need to be out there clearing snow. There are some tweens in the neighborhood who do shovel, and will be happy to do your sidewalk for a ridiculous fee!

Dear Ex

Thank you for being decent and letting us get past this part in a positive way. Hopefully we can move on after this and be friends or at least wish the other well. Which I do.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I hope you are enjoying being reunited - pretty brazen of me to assume your spirits are now reconnected but that is what I feel in my bones.

Dear Dad,

I am so happy you are now off on a new adventure. The last few years must have been a bit taxing but perhaps the reason for them had more to do with your children's journey and not your own. Thanks for teaching me to be kind, to be patient and to show unconditioned love. Miss you but your smile is forever in my heart.

Sky King: My condolences on your loss. I know it wasn't unexpected, but this post, and your earlier one were so beautiful and poignant, they really bring tears to my eyes.
I'm sure your parents are enjoying a reunion dance together. Take care of yourself.

Dear friend. Thank you for the invite to join you and your friends in HI in a few weeks. I'm glad I had the smarts to finally give in and say yes. I can't wait. It has given me something really fun to look forward to. I haven't had that in quite a long time.

Dear DH:

I get that you are trying to be helpful and take care of my computer - I do, and I appreciate it. However, you waited until the last 2 days before I am back in class to do this. You keep taking over my desk space and my computer while I'm trying to get what I need to do done. Right now, I need to print a shipping label which I absolutely cannot do from my iPad (in time to get things to the post office). You did the same thing last night when I was getting ready to ride the trainer (my computer is right next to the trainer), thus ensuring that I would not be able to workout (but you did workout - while I cooked your dinner - which we ate at 10PM because of your subsequent 45 minute shower). Your "just a minute" translates (to the rest of the world) as "I have no idea when I'll be done." It can be anywhere from 30 minutes to 4+ hours (I've been waiting on that shipping label for 30 mintues now).

Signed,

Too much to do and too much cabin fever

Dear special friend who has been just incredible to me. I just don't know what to say. You've joined me in a friendship, invited me to Hawaii and now have rocked my world in ways I thought were long gone by asking me to be a more intimate part of your life. I'm just smiling all over. I hope this feeling lasts because it's wonderful.
