<<O>>

I looked down at the legal pad in front of me, clicked the pen to extend the point, and then began writing.

Dear Grace,

By the time you read this I will be gone. It is a difficult decision for me, but one made necessary by your actions. It is all the more difficult because you did give me the best fifteen years of my life, but I do have to say that this last year has sucked big time.

I have loved you since the eighth grade and the happiest day of my life was the day you said “I do” and I slid my ring on your finger. That happiness blinded me to one simple fact: I was second best. You made a choice when you were in the eighth grade and that choice wasn’t me. I was in the background as you and Dale started your journey. True, you did occasionally turn to me, but it was only temporary because you wanted company when Dale wasn’t around, but I was still only second best even though I never thought it or even considered it.

But in the last nine months, you have made it clear that I was only second best. Imagine, if you will, my surprise when Dave told me that Dale was back and working in the same office as you. Imagine my surprise when I found out that he had been back and working with you for six months. You never once mentioned to me that he was back. But then you never mentioned a lot of other things either. Things like having lunch with him almost every day. Things like having dinner with him every Monday night. Things like spending your “girl’s night out” with him every Wednesday night at the Landing Strip. And oh yes, let’s not forget that you never mentioned the kissing and hand holding that you did every time the two of you were together.

There could have been more, much more I suppose, but I never had the heart to dig any deeper than I already had. What I have already listed here was enough to crush me. I doubt I could bear knowing anything else.

I love you enough to want you to be happy, so I am getting out of the way and freeing you up to go with your first choice. The house is yours. I have taken the few things that I want and the rest is yours. I have taken half of the savings and checking accounts and five of the nine certificates of deposit that were in the safe deposit box.

I am going to leave it up to you to handle the divorce.

I hope you and Dale will be happy together.

Sincerely,

Rob
