Letter to my parents (from 2006)

I wrote this in Gatlinburg, TN, while on vacation with a group of friends. It was a fun trip, but it was difficult to fully enjoy it with all this in my head.

Jamie,
I'm glad for your progress and transparency. I can relate to much of your story and agree, it takes time and a loving relationship to be able to heal the past and provide hope for the future.

Keep on keeping on!

Hugs,

Dear Jamie, yes I was furious for what I had lost because I love(d) you so truly. But I promise you the pain of leaving you when you needed me most was far greater. I just wish I had put my pain aside long enough to realize the truth sooner. It still makes me cry to read this, though you sent me a copy when you sent it to them. I am glad you have Steven and are in love again. I will always love you and you will always be very special to me - I would do anything for you to this day. But we also both realized when you came to visit the truth of the situation that you captured: even before Steven or Haasz there was the fact that I couldn't return to NC (I won't go into the reasons out of respect but you know) and you couldn't bring yourself to move to Seattle. Time heals all wounds eventually, it's true. While I still cry reading this it is out of love not anger or anything. I see you now and I'm happy you still include me in your life, I'm overjoyed to see you and Steven happy, and I'm very touched that you still care about me
