Bob was one of the nicest guys I ever met. I cared about him tremendously. He lived about 90 miles away, though. My mom had cancer, and she died while we were dating. I was devastated, and I just was emotionally dead. I think if he lived closer and could have been with me during this time, we would have been able to pull through. I ended up breaking up.
Two years later, I sent him a Christmas card explaining what happened and apologizing for it. This is what he wrote in the card he sent back.

Dear Judi,
What a surprise to get your card and letter in the mail the other day. I want to say that I am sorry about the way things went back in '89. I did not realize the seriousness of the situation until your mother passed away. I really appreciate you letting me know your feelings. I hope that the coming year brings you and your family happiness.
...
Well, tell everyone in the family I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Your Friend,
Bob
I will always have a spot for Bob in my heart. He was a very special guy.
