Dear Suzanne Baker:

There is fear and faith and if you try to bring the relationship with Nic back to life, there will be both. Sometimes there will be more fear than faith. Try to be as logical as you can be, as prepared as you can be while you make your sincere attempt. First, let him know about your change in viewing religion, that it is no longer your requirement or expectation or even a desire that he converts to any religion (again, if it completely true).

Let him know of that first, because that is the Issue that separated you.
