It has been a while since I posted anything about my former mystery girlfriend. There has been a good reason for that; I have been moving away from her.

You see, my first wife Susan was a very special person to me. (She still is. We remain very good friends to this day) when we broke up, I never thought I would find anyone that could begin to replace her in my heart. I mean, I loved a few different girls, Kimberly and Allison, but in my heart of hearts no one came close to what I felt for Susan.

Until the aformentioned mystery girlfriend. I felt that what we had was special. So special in fact that after we broke up I still found myself wishing we hadn’t. Is essence, I was waiting for her to return.

I kept all of her letters and pictures for when the day arrived that she and I could try and patch up things.

Well, three years have gone by and I now realize that nothing will ever come of this wish. We will never be together and the truth is, we never could have been. There were just too many things going against us.

This weekend, I gathered up all of our old things, letters and pictures and such, and I boxed them up and removed them from the house. It was hard. really hard. But I know it must be done.

I have to move on.

So if you read this mystery g, please note that you were the most special of the special. You have a piece of my heart. Please keep it with the knowledge that what we shared was indeed special. I will always remain as a friend. Don’t hesitate to call on me if you need me. But only as a friend.

I have sixty days left in Birmingham before I move on in another way; back to the place I grew up. I want to be near the things I hold near and dear.

I moved to Birmingham eight years ago with a hope and a dream to become a respected fish in a big pond. I had something to prove to myself; that I could succeed in a place full of successful people. I did that, and now I have nothing left to prove to myself. I head home a little wiser, a lot smarter, and blessed with a beautiful child.

What more could I have hoped for?
