Dear best friend,

Caramel Pecan roast for a Nutty girl lol! Love it. I think I would like it if it has an overtly nutty taste.

You made me feel so good and smile for your sweet compliments on my words about not wanting to forget anyone in my life!!! Thank you very very much, my dear! I truly appreciate you 💞🌺💓

I can’t stand that false preacher and how he’s hurt you! You are way more valuable and beautiful and smart than all of that crap! It’s the hardest thing to go past all the hurtful things you dealt with as a child and see it mirrored in your adult life by people you thought you could trust. It’s fucked up. I can’t stand it. That’s why I’m leaving my sad sad raven. They put me through too much abuse physical and mental and emotional.

You definitely don’t deserve to be treated that way, girl! You are number 1. And don’t forget it!

The way you expressed your feelings about that Green Day song, which I have not heard yet but I will soon, was a beautiful poetic way to explain your thoughts! “Bitter agony,” and “painfully beautiful,” is my favorite part of your description… such a truly profound effect your words have!

I very much appreciated and enjoyed talking to you too, today and these last few days. Can’t wait to talk to you again soon and on the phone.

Love, always💓

Melissa

    I am distressed by the thought that this is the only/primary way the two of you have to communicate, but also thankful that it is available to you. If, of course, the two of you are simply conjuring up a story..., well done! It feels completely authentic.
