Dear Anita,

Don’t give up on Kooper- he could show up at your door anytime.  Regarding my love life things are very good.  I went with his family ice skating on New Year’s and met his mother and sister. They were very nice and we had lots of fun in Chicago. Tomorrow is his birthday dinner; Jason is turning 45. How is your love life if I may ask?

Also- my mother bought me a very expensive purse for Christmas.  For me it was a symbol that I am good enough, I have her respect and admiration.  Our relationship has improved so much over the past year.  It has started to do wonders for my self-esteem and lack of responding to my ex. (it’s still early but so far so good.) Having Jason has also helped- to be honest- and this sounds a bit snobby- I am better than my ex and his fiance. He dresses like he is 25 versus 39 and there are more things that are not worth mentioning.
