I had a relationship that was very short in duration and it came at a very confusing time in my life. Youth had so much to contribute. She was 18 years old, I was 27. When we agreed it was over, I asked her to write something for me. I found a pink packet of words she had written and left on the bathroom sink. She had left my world but changed it in a profound way. These wishes she left for me has shaped my world. I look back and smile when I see another way her words has touched my life. That was nearly 13 years ago and She is as much in my life as ever before, even though I have lost touch with her and not been able to talk to her in over 11 years. I cannot and will not ever forget you.
I have never been given the chance to tell you how much your words has meant to me. Thank you Wendy Arnold.
Some day I hope to say thanks in person.
This is her letter to me and how I have used it to shape my life.
