S ubject: Please forgive me…
Becky,
I’ve been sitting here, staring at the screen, wondering how I can possibly convey what I want to say into words. It seems an impossible task, but I will try.
Please, Becky, can you find it in your heart to forgive me for my reaction to your summons? I realize now that my response was not about the debt itself, but about the sheer terror of seeing you in distress. It brought back those haunting feelings of helplessness, the same ones I felt when Jared died. In that moment, I was overwhelmed, not by disappointment in you, but by fear for you.
I walked out that day, not because I doubted you or your situation, but because I wasn’t strong enough to face my own demons. I left the house to fight my own battles. And in my confusion, I made the gravest mistake of leaving you when you needed me the most. I’m so sorry.
Your absence has been a cruel teacher, but the lesson has been crystal clear: I love you. The love I have for your precious heart is profound, and it’s shredding me to pieces not to be by your side. I’m aching to hold you in my arms, to look into your eyes and tell you how sorry I am.
Can you find it within you to forgive me? To give me the chance to make things right? I understand if you need time and space to figure out how you feel; I will give you oceans of both if that’s what it takes.
Yours,
Weston
