To the Girl Who Loved Me - Buddies Until Abandoned
The next chapter in this story is a very sensitive one.
In working on it for the last two days I have come to realize there is one person who may stumble across it someday and what it reveals could hurt her . . . I was a teenage jerk who never deserved the love a girl back home gave me. I would prefer it never happen, but when you post something on the internet you must be prepared for anyone to see it. I have considered everyone from my children up and I know I am doing the right thing or else Phillip is going to be standing there waiting on me at the pearly gates ready to kick my butt, but before I post the next chapter I must write something personal to her if she happens to pass this way.
I have only talked to you twice in forty years and the conversations totaled less than 100 words.
Forty years ago you sent me love letters every day while I was in San Diego . . . each one smelled of your perfume and was sealed with a kiss. Before I joined the Navy we had made plans to wed. You were one of virtue and a woman any man would be proud to call his wife. You fell in love with a man who was born under a wandering star and the forces of the universe tore us apart before our dreams were fulfilled.
Be grateful for our demise. I have seen your accomplishments and witnessed the impact you have had on many others. Even from a distance and after so many years it has made me proud to see you in newspapers, on the cover of magazines and on television. I know I would have held you back from your destiny.
I would rather you never see this, but if you should I do not ask for forgiveness. It is not deserved. I only ask that you not let anything you read hurt you. I know how much you loved me and cared for me and though my actions did not reflect it . . . I also loved and cared for you very much.
I never deserved you and you deserved so much more.
