Dear T,
A thread about e-mail signoffs on here had me looking back at a few of your past e-mails. And the one, with the talk about how most relationships eventually end (referring to ex-MC), and you say, "Relationships are marvelous, wonderful things and in many ways the most important thing we do. But they are also finite most of the time, and that's OK. We feel sad over the ending of a relationship - sometimes emotionally devastated if we are particularly close to the person - but we must always hold within us the understanding that "I'll be OK, and I will have other relationships, and I can feel close and trust people even though there is risk of loss."" And you also included reassurance that you aren't planning to leave, since you figured I'd interpret that way.
I can't seem to read that e-mail response without crying, and today was no different. Like crying in a more positive way, if that makes sense. It's different reading it now because it does seem I'm surviving the loss of ex-MC...in part due to your support, but also maybe in part due to strength I didn't realize I had, that you've helped bring out in me.
See you in a couple hours.
Love,
LT
