Fergie -

I thought about this a lot overnight (so much so, I guess, that it woke me up @ 5am!) I've re-written this four times, trying to get the right point.

You may feel she has a fresh start. But, for the sake of being human, I'd like to think she carried around a fair amount of guilt for her actions. But, if not...

You may have been walked-away from, and, possibly even cheated on... BUT, (this may sound so cliche, but since I know you in person, I can honestly tell you this):

Can you not walk down your path of life...
... w/respect for the effort you exerted to make it work?
... w/respect for the commitment you had for the institution of marriage?
... w/respect for your valuing of her heart (separate from yours/hers together)?
AND...
... w/ a genuine, clean, pure knowledge of your self-worth?

You now hold close to your heart a true gift, my friend. I wouldn't wish this kind of abandonment on you, but since you've experience it, imagine what you can truly give yourself, and someone else someday.

/no schmoopiness allowed on this post - all about you
//your voice made me sad - but this phase is necessary for healing - I'll hear it anytime I need to.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
