Dear sense of humor,
I just wanted to get a few things off my chest.
I consider you to be one of the best things that’s ever happened to me, and you should know that. In fact, I couldn’t imagine life without you.
I’m grateful I found you so early in my life, and that you’ve remained such a big part of it today.
Thank you for always being there, even though at times I couldn’t reach out and instead, tried to go it alone.
You’ve enriched my life, and in doing so, the lives of those around me. Even when some may have deemed you inappropriate, I knew better. Sometimes, your mere presence was what got me through.
Please forgive me for turning my back on you now and then, there were times when I just couldn’t keep in touch.
You’ve made me who I am today, and can only hope ours is a long and lasting relationship. You’ve helped me stare seriousness in the face, you’ve lightened my step, you’ve shaped my perspective.
You’ve never had a sharp word to say, and I appreciate that. You’ve grown with me, shared life moments but have demanded nothing from me.
I love the fact I can take you anywhere. I’ve never been afraid of introducing you to anyone, even strangers. People seem to take to you right away; you have a knack for making everyone feel at ease.
At times, you’ve been a bit off-color, but I’ve always loved that about you.
You’ve been a very important part of my life. I couldn’t have gotten this far without you, and I wouldn’t trade you for the world. I hope you’ve never felt taken for granted.
I am your biggest fan, so please don’t plan on going anywhere. I’m going to need you just as much, if not more, as I grow older. I will be looking for you as I notice the wrinkles and the joint pain, and most certainly during my conversations with my reflection in the mirror. In fact, you may not have a moment’s peace.
Take care old friend, I’ll see you soon…
Carol
