Dear Clyde

Dear Clyde, I have been thinking of today for a while. It is a day for closure and endings and I thought it would be appropriate to end this relationship the way it began, with a letter. I wanted to tell you that I forgive you but I didn't want any misunderstanding of what it was I am forgiving you for. I did not want any ambivalence or scoffing. I thought about ticking off every broken promise, every transgression, every lie; but that seemed futile at best and hateful at worst. It would not give my heart the solace it is seeking. So, I simply say to you; I Forgive You. I do have a lasting and deep wish that you find happiness and have a blissful life My hope is that you serve that of your highest self for the sake of our children. They deserve the very best part of you. They are truly our greatest treasure and success and I am grateful to you for them. All my best, Ursula
