Day 35: A letter to an ex

Dear Ex,

Thank you for always making me feel special. Thank you for pretending to be interested in the things I was interested in.  Thank you for all the times you made me laugh. Thank you for being one of my best friends through high school.  Thank you for being my date to all the school dances.  Thank you for not making fun of me too much when you realized how horrible of a dancer I am.  Thank you for teaching me how to be in a relationship.  Thank you for breaking up with me so I could learn to handle heart break.  And thank you for not getting over me right away after we broke up—it made me feel better to know that you weren’t over me yet either.  Thank you for giving me so many funny diary entries to go back and read with embarrassment!  Thank you for the good and the bad memories that have helped me grow in my life. Thank you for helping me realize the qualities that I truly wanted in husband (and the ones that I didn’t want :).  Even though I secretly (or maybe not so secretly) wished we would always be together, I knew we were meant for other people and I am so glad we both found our true loves.  I wish you and your wife a wonderful and happy life. 

Haley
