By now I'm sure things have settled for you and I hope your plans of getting to Europe and trekking with Guinness have happened. Relationships can be a bitch- and you have had some tough ones. But you are a fighter and a stubborn SOB. I got faith in ya... Hope Colorado is treating you and G all right. Take it easy. Make sure to tell Guinness hi for me. -B D- Best of luck to you.

There were a few times I found myself holding back tears (except at the end...I couldn't hold them back any longer). I have only met you a time or two but I was able to get close to Summer over the last year, thanks to my BFF Annika. I didn't really expect that after the Birthday Extravaganza, this would be the outcome. I think of you both and hope that you guys find what you are looking for. I would really like to get Andy and Guinness together for a play-date. Maybe sometime soon you, Guinness, Annika and Kit could come to our house...I would be happy to make us all dinner and I really think you would like my husband, Garrett. Annika has made such an impact on my life over the last 5 years. I think of her as family and I want to extend that feeling to you. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

I should not have said them but I was sad and hurting. I know thats no excuse...I just dont know how to deal when I am hurt, I guess I deal by hurting the person that hurt me. Its not fair or right and I am sorry. You know I am not good at writing and explaing how I really feel...or telling you whats on my mind. I know you tried and I didnt.. and I never denied that. I feel like I will never be the althletic, Respiratory therapist, hot bodied person you wanted/expected me to be. The conversation we had after our backpacking trip hit me hard and I felt rejected by you. I felt like the person you wanted to be with was not me at all. No matter what you said or did changed that for me. So here we are in our seperate places in our seperate beds..For the first time in a very long time.. I do love my family.. Derrick

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I agree whole-heartedly with Audrey: you just have to live one day at a time and live for yourself (and Guinness of course). Do exactly what you want to do, don't answer to anyone, and just enjoy life right now. I know some days are going to be difficult and maybe even feel like you shouldn't have gotten out of bed. But it will get better. Your friends and family love you and will be here for you. Soon you'll be able to go a whole day without thinking about her, and then a little later you'll be able to go a week, then a month. Please remember that we love you and if you need anything at all. At all (a shoulder, a beer, a place to stay), call me. Jake would love to hang out with Guinness! Stay yourself, be strong, remember that you are a wonderful man and you'll make it. You don't need someone who is going to make you feel that way. You deserve better. You deserve the best. Lots of love. Sweetie, I know it’s hard. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

Second, I am sure that this the THE most therapeutic thing you have done since dads death. It's so moving to see your thoughts on "paper" and to "see" you feel! Third, I am sure Summer will read this, she may take offense to some things written...I will deeply miss her as a close friend and part of my family, as I know you will too. I wish her decisions were different, I wish she were still someone I would call my "sister". I love you Biggie Size Morse...I feel like we can climb any hill and wait in any 40 minute lift line together (figuratively AND literally) after all we have been through in the last few months. Despite our lack of contact over our adolescence I feel so blessed that we have each other.

It's heart braking to be able to hear it in your writing. Things will get better, they always do, it's just never as easy as other people say. All you can do is take it one day at a time, and make Guinness your reason to get out of bed each morning. He deserves it. Relationships are work. You have good days/months/years, and you have bad days/months/years. It is a daily decision to love, be faithful to, and communicate with each other, but you have to stand strong through the bad to see more of the good. If you can see that and she can't then you are better off. Spending some time taking care of yourself is always a good thing, the more you fully understand yourself the better you understand others, and what you want and need from them. You are a good, kind, loving person, you always have been. You are not emotionally devoid. If you do a trip across the US, please come for a visit, and bring Guinness, the boys would love him. Don't worry too much about Guinness, animals are resilient. . . and so are we! I hope that Summer doesn't read this, as I'm certain the airing of your mutual dirty laundry would not go over well.
