I agree!

Oftentimes our conversation gets lost. Not such a strange thing considering something like 50% of our meaning comes from what is emoted rather than the actual words.

The gal in my head that is you. How I hear you, was incongruent with the cold text. I am positive if we were actually sitting across from each other we’d have a grand discussion. Of course Nanaimo bar and coffee with heavy cream and sugar would be shared as well.

That’s why I inquired. The Gerda I know, or believe I know, sees me differently.

I’ve reached into your life and wrote directly to your son. I am honoured to be granted such privilege. And you and I have shared many a discussion. Do realize I am invested for those I care about.

I’d saw my irrational response was off the mark. And, I’m glad you corrected me.

Not that this is a vote or anything; you can do as you see fit. I’d rather you not. Especially over this.

Thank you. I suppose I was probably hurting.

Oddly, I was more confused and questioned my values.

Again, text does at times lead to misunderstandings. My apologies as well.

Order us another cake and round of drinks my dear friend. We still have many discussions to be had I’m sure.

Feelings are fleeting.
Be better, not bitter.
Love the person, forgive the sin.
