Dear Friend,

I owe you an apology. Please accept this contrite offering. I am wrong. I have been unloving, selfish, and withdrawn. I reserved truths you are entitled to know and neglected the gratitude I should show. I retreated, hurt you in my escape, and surrounded myself with silence to receive my isolation fix. There is no excuse, and my reasons are inadequate. Though I am undeserving, I ask that you continue to be gracious. I love you dearly and understand your presence in my life is a privilege.
