Love Letter Reply

Dear The Distance Man,

I am doing great in life trying to enjoy my life being single again after the marriage that lasted for 30 years which has driven me crazy with my ex-husband as he was a total jerk. Thanks for your concern and trust me, I am not sad or trying to get over with his death because for me, I think I have been set free after the longest nightmare of my life. Anyway I was extremely surprised by your so-called love letter. And yes, I can still barely remember how you look since the last time we met was in Facebook.

Thanks again, my family is doing wonderful. My daughter just got married with a British and she is working as an Genetic Engineer in UK. My son is doing great too. He is currently studying PhD in Chemical Engineering in Germany. I cannot believe after these 28 years you can still remember me and have the gut to write this letter to me. Oh please, I do not want to get involved in relationship anymore. In fact, I can say I hate relationship. Let me make things clear for you. First, we barely know each other. Second, I thought a love letter is going to be more romantic than this one. Honestly, I have no idea what are you trying to say as the grammatical errors in your letter are too many until I have lost interest in continuing reading it. I am sorry that it may be harsh for you but that is my way of saying thoughts.

Once again, I know we are no longer young but why would you want to make the rest of your life miserable anymore? Why don't we just enjoy our life to the fullest. I am not sure about how you feel about this, but with the money I got from my children every month and the savings, I am planning to go for travelling the world. After being a full time housewife I realized that I have wasted so many precious time for the family and almost none for myself. So I have to explore the world when I still have the chance to do so. It's not that you are not a good person but I guess we just have the different point of view of life. I am pretty sure we can hang out like old friends after this and it will not be awkward, I promise. Just give me a call or send me text whenever you are free or lonely. I will try to make it for you as long as I am still in this country. I believe after reading this letter, you will be at least a little disappointed but it is fine. I am not the only one left in this world. And that's is why we, the widows and widowers should go out to the world and know more people.

A  Happy, Single Lady
