Dear Anita,

Thank you for standing by my side. I am forever grateful to you.

I wrote a full paragraph answering your question “Can you do that?” and then I deleted it all, because I felt sorry for myself. I felt like a failure. So I will answer your question with brevity – Yes, i can and I will. It will hurt beyond belief but I have no choice but to accept.

Thank you again for still being here. I’m typing this as tears flow down my cheeks while my colleagues at work walk past me.
