Dear Ex- Best Friend, I know we haven't been in touch for a very long time but I am reaching out now to try and reconnect. Many years have passed since we last spoke and our lives are completely different now from what they were. I'm not even sure I remember why we stopped talking in the first place but I still cherish all the memories I have of us together. I saw online that you had a son a little over a year ago. He looks adorable in his pictures! I myself have a son and daughter so I'm well aware of the struggle of balancing parenting and work demands. I hope I get to meet him one day when I'm in town visiting. This Coronavirus pandemic has got me thinking lately. With so much extra time on my hands and nowhere I've started thinking a lot about my past relationships with people and trying to analyze where things went wrong. I regret some of the questionable things I may have done that hurt others and I'd like to think I'm a more considerate person. I haven't struggled too much adjusting to the "COVID -19" lifestyle as my husband is considered essential and I've been a stay-at-home mother for years. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have been able to pay all of our bills on time when so many others are struggling. I think the biggest adjustment for me has been dealing with homeschooling and not being able to go to the gym. I hope you and your little family are doing well, even amidst this pandemic. I hope to hear back from you sometime and when I'm back in town we can hook up for a cup of coffee or something. Take care for now! Your Oldest Ex Bestie, К
