The handwritten letter to my wife sat in my car for a week, maybe two.
The words on the letter sat in my head for a month, maybe more.
I'm not sure why I picked today to finally pass it on ... the timing was terrible. But I guess that's what made it the right time. I knew without a shadow of a doubt I meant them.
"I want you to be happy. If the only thing I can do to make you happy is to let you go, then that's what I'll do."
Two simple sentences that change everything that happens from here on out. I have no idea what's in store for me next. Part of me doesn't want to know.
I feel like I'm damaged goods, and always will be and nothing and no one can change that.
This is my life now.
Those are brave words. I'm glad that you were able to write them down and I hope that they help.
