Shortly after my parents' divorce, I got a letter from my dad. In the envelope were two letters, actually. I'll never forget the moment I read that first letter:
Dear Cindy,Dad didn't sign his letters, so that was pretty much it.
I know that this divorce is entirely your doing, and I blame you.
I don't love you and I never want to see you again.
I pulled the second one out and unfolded it:
That day, I showed great wisdom for a 14-year-old. I threw both letters in the trash. But I never did manage to forget them.Dear Cindy,
I've changed my mind. I think maybe I do still love you.
But I don't want to see you again for a long, long time.
