Dear R,

You just walked out the door on your way to the event. I hate that I couldn't go with you. I wanted to be there to celebrate your triumph with you. I know you said that it's okay, and I am glad you understand. But it is not okay. It is not okay that I have to work and can't be there for your shining moment. I love you so much and I hate when I have to miss these opportunities to show it.

I'm writing you this because it is difficult for me to say these things to your face. I have a much easier time putting the words where you can find them and then running away. You know that though. You know these things and you understand and accept them. That's why I love you; you help me to realize what is really important.

I hope everything went well. I love you

W
