Dear Gary,

Suprised to get your voicemail late last night, what has it been, over a year now since you left?

Sorry things haven't worked out for you and Sarah but as we all know life moves on. I recently met someone called Trevor, really nice man, he moved in with me last month.

I'd like to say that I'm completely over you but that wouldn't be the truth. I still think of you a lot.

I still remember the time you punched me so hard that you broke my cheek bone and I spent 3 days in Hospital all because I said the wrong thing to you when you came home drunk one night! Yes I still remember that, hard to forget really. I also remember having to lie to our friends and family, telling them that I'd fallen down the stairs and them ( and you) laughing and telling me what a clumsy cow I was.

I still remember the time you came home at 4 oclock in the morning, reaking of perfume and alcahol. I think you punched me in the stomach that night!

You said on the voicemail that you'd like to "pop" in and see me and have a chat.

That would be fantastic, come over anytime.

Oh, did I mention that Trevor owns the local gym where he teaches Karate? He's also preparing for a tournament in a few weeks. he does something called "Cage Fighting".

He said last night that he can't wait to meet you!

So come over anytime you like!

Sue.

Very poignant but funny at the same time

Hello Jolono, I've just read all the letters in this series and I can't believe how few comments you have received. Not that many reads either for something of this quality. They don't know what they're missing. I loved all of them. Think they are all absolutely great and the ones about the family are so poignant. Heartbreaking, in fact. You are one of my most favourite writers so keep them coming. Moya

Ahh, thank you Denzella. I haven't written any letters for some time, possibly because they haven't been that well received. I only started on the site in November and my first few posts were hardly read at all. My favourite is still the first thing I posted " The Lovely Hilda", but hardly got any comments. I may go back to it and re-write it at some time. Really appreciate you taking the time to read all the letters. Your style is very similar to mine and always make me smile. Thanks again.

This is rough and ready but so beautifully smack in the face good.

 

I remember having to become imaginative and increasingly more inventive with my lies. I think my favourite was when the crash helmet fell out of the loft and kissed me. 

 

Favourite line  and them ( and you) laughing ...but I'd lose the brackets.
