I agree MHL. I'm not going to give in. I'm on my way to meet up with friends at a reverse happy hour.

As I got in my truck I received this email:

Dear H,

I just want to start off by saying that you don't have to respond to this message. I just wanted to tell you H I forgive you, I've carried around so much hurt, bitterness, anger and pain that I've felt for a very long time, and that has been a major sin on my part. As I sit here with tears in my eyes, I mean it from the bottom of my heart I really forgive you. I also want you to know that I am so sorry for any and everything that I've done to you knowingly and unknowingly to hurt you. H I am by no means perfect, but I'm trying everyday that the Lord gives me a chance to be a better me, for me, but more importantly for his glory. I pray that God continues to Bless & strengthen you daily in everything that you do, and set out to accomplish. Have a great weekend.

Not sure what to make of that. "Sounds" good but still seems very self serving. She said not to respond, probably thinking I will...so I don't think I'm going to. It is holding form though...I've pulled way back and here she comes in some fashion. I'm not missing an "opportunity" here am I? I think I should continue GAL'ing but just add this to the "what works" column.
