Yesterday would have been our 25th Anniversary. Received the following e-mail from XW yesterday morning.

Subject: Today I celebrate yo and our family
Dear Ken,
I celebrate today. Twenty-five years ago we officially began our family. I learned a lot from you as we grew up together and I couldn't be more proud of our three children and the life we built together for them.
I hope you are well and I look forward to a time when we can meet for lunch or dinner and catch up.
Have a great day, Ken.
Sincerely, XW

Any ideas on how to interpret this? All I can say is WTF! The use of the word "celebrate" is what really kills me!
Comments welcome!
Well you can tell her, "celebrate" is a weird way of describing what happened between the two of you and your family. You are happy she's in a good place in her life and you are in a good place in your own life and follow up with "if you're offering to buy me dinner, I will always say YES! ;-)"
Your response doesn't have to be long winded, needy, clingy, sad and depressing, it should be the opposite, upbeat, happy, everything is great (isn't everything great? if not, it should be!).
Don't beat her up in an email or in person, you're mature and you've gotten past all of this (you should be getting past all of this, what else is there to hold on to?)
Have you been dating? How is that going? How is life in general? Everything good I hope.
