Letter To Melanie

Melanie,

Hey.  You always encourage honesty, so here I go.

I’m happy for you that you’ve reconnected with so many people in the past week or so.  Andrea, Chris, your Mike, even to some extent Kim and Phil.

But I’m also worried.  You’e said in the past that Chris and Mike have proven to be extremely unreliable and you’ve been hurt by them both before.  I hate the thought that your Mike may just ditch you again because he can’t ‘fess up to his girlfriend that you are someone he associates with.  And I hate that Chris may once again start breaking plans without saying anything and stuff like that.

I don’t mean to rain on your parade and I by no means want to hurt you in any way by saying this.  I just want you to be careful and don’t want to see you rekindle these friendships only to be let down again sometime in the future, whether that be tomorrow, in coming months, or a year from now.

Anyway, I hope that I’m wrong and that they’ll be constant, reliable people in your life since they’ve reentered it.  But I did just want to let you know that this was something I’m worried about.

Whatever happens, good luck, and I hope they will stay in your life, because whatever else they may have done, or have been, I do see that they make you happy.  And you deserve happiness.

~Kate.
