To Mark, From John

     It's great to hear from you Mark! It really has been too long. I totally remember you dancing with Genie, that was so great, we all thought the two of you were really hitting it off. It's too bad she ran off with some dude she met online. Also, Brad was definitely a Deutsche in high school, but he's treated Lydia really well. They're actually expecting their first born, it'll be a boy. I told her to name him after me but I doubt that'll happen. Poor old Uncle Johnny...it's okay I'll nickname him after me.

    I'm sorry you've been feeling this way lately. God knows I've felt this way many times. In fact, I felt like this quite recently. It was a girl that I went out on a date with, and we spent the weekend together having such a great time. I mean, when I said we had a great time, I had never felt like this with any girl before. It was like the two of us were pieces of yarn that were cut from the same ball. I understood the tie we had together. I know it sounds weird, after all it was just a period of three days that we spent time together, but I really feel like I fell in love. And then, I asked if we would see each other the next day, on Monday. She said yes, and then I never saw her again. Never heard from her. All she did was reach out and tell me that she wasn't looking for a relationship and didn't want to give me the wrong impression. 

    With this, I urge you to move on from Sarah. Especially since I know she's married, I saw that on Facebook. You do not want to go down that rabbit hole. Understand that this stuff you're feeling is probably just loneliness. There are times when I feel that way too, but I remember that the world is just the way it is. You'll be over it in a few days. I would not, and I repeat DO NOT, send any more letters to Sarah. Trust me, the guy she's married to, he won't act kindly to a childhood best friend turned college boyfriend sending letters to his wife. Just stay afloat and these feelings will pass.

    Best,

    John
