Dunno what to make of it.

Merry Christmas Suzanne,
I wanted to write you and wish you well on Christmas. I realize the potential exists for this card to cause you more pain than fond remembrance, but I wanted to leave it in your hands, rather than assume the worst. I wanted to let you know that I still remember you. I remember who you really were before all these changes took place; I remember the person buried beneath the strain, depression, distress, and pain.

I've been very angry, and rightfully so about how things have turned out in my life, and in our relationship. You have a right to be angry too, and I'm sure you are. There were many things that happened that we seemed powerless to change. It was inevitable that things would disintegrate under the burdens being shouldered.

But for all the pain we've caused each other - I'm glad that I knew you. I will always remember you for holding my hand in the hospital, holding me when I'd cry - you protected me. You were an angel when hell came to consume me. You walked with me through that hell.

Thank you for loving me Sue in spite of all my shortcomings. I sometimes get angry and think you never did care, but I know in my heart you did, and I loved you too.

I'm sorry for any pain I've caused you over the 6 years we've known each other, and I want you to know that even today I'd die for you. I have continued to leave your name up on my blog profile under the "hero" section.

I'm a sick man, and I've always been sick. I didn't choose it, but that is what it is. I'm mentally ill and physically ill, and I have to just live with that, but you didn't, and I'm so sorry for the pain it caused you. Thank you for staying as long as you did.

You don't have to reply to this, but please know I'm deeply sorry; I'm as sorry as I can be for the mistakes I've made, and for the losses we've both experienced in the time we were together.

I hope you're happy in the coming year, and that all the things you wish and dream come into your life.

Best Wishes,
Michael Parent

P.S. If you don't want me to write you again regarding personal matters I won't. I don't expect anything. I will be getting the prices on your package soon. They have been treated with the utmost care and respect, and will be shipped in the next week I hope.
