Rays of hope - thaw approaching?

[The Wifey]

I have one small opportunity to actually write something to my wife.

I found and returned a digital camera which she uses all the time.

She thanked me but asked for the cable.

This may be the last short term (ha! 9 weeks short term) chance of trying to re-connect via returning this with a letter or note.

Any and i mean ANY advice would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks in advance.

Mac, The problem, as I see it, is not that you want to write a note to your wife. The problem is that you are pinning all your hopes on this "one small opportunity" and think you are going to find the magic words that help you re-connect.

First- There are no magic words that makes this all better.

Second- No one note will help you re-connect.

Third and most important- this is only one opportunity and you will have others. Pinning hopes on one event only sets you up for disappointment.

I am not opposed to you writing a note - go ahead and throw the 2x4's people - but you would need to write it as if you writing to a business associate. Politely, without pouring any angst into the note.

Before you consider it final you better post and let us look at it.

I might suggest:

After a search I was able to find your cable. I knew you were anxious to recieve it so I put it right into the mail. I hope all is well with you.

Take Care,

Mac

Nice. Polite. Brief. No major emotion. No hint you even know about her job. No ILY.

You can do this, MAC! Journal to get this tackled in your head.
