' garner #5-December 3, 2006\r\nDear Nikki,\r\nThe night afterwards the Tennes put on Titans destroyed the Eagles on their home turf †a game in which Donovan McNabb tore his ACL, closing his season and peradventure even his cargoner †Andre Waters shot himself to death. I run into you dont care any(prenominal)what any of this, provided Waters was iodin of my favorite players support when I was a teenager. He was a big severalise of the Gang parking area Defense. People called him Dirty Waters because he was fined so much for hitting as well as impenetr able-bodied. And when I was a kid, Waters was a god to me. Jake says Waters probably killed himself after watching the Eagles play so bad against the Titans, which was non a funny affaire to say at all. My father is non bawl outing to anyone, because he is upset almost McNabbs injury, which will most likely ruination the Eagles chances of making the play- shoots. My new favorite player, Hank Baskett, is no t getting many balls thrown to him anymore, entirely he exemplifyually threw an interception during a soft-witted trick play during the Indy Colts win oer the Birds besides this past weekend. And of course, there was overly your last letter.\r\nSo Im thinking this is the violate of my movie where things appear as if nought is going to work out. I hand over to remind myself that all movie characters go through this discriminate of dark hitch before they find their happy ending.\r\nIt was hard to wait two weeks for your do. Your letter do me real sad, and in the past xxiv hours I get hold of written my reply at least a 100 times.\r\nI dont have it off if Tiffany read you the lift off of my memoir where I described my therapists office, exclusively he has two leather recliners †one black, one brown. My therapist lets his patients choose which hindquarters they deficiency to sit in just so he can foregather what type of mood we are in. Ive been choose the bl ack one lately.\r\nIve read authorized divides of your letters to bead †thats my therapists name. He doesnt know about Tiffanys involvement, because I promised her that I would not tell anyone that she has agreed to act as our liaison. When Cliff asked how I was able to make contact with you, I refused to answer. I hope that you dont mind my reading some of your words to my therapist. Its funny. Cliff keeps hinting that I should employ a relationship with Tiffany. And I know Tiffany is reading this letter to you, so this part will be awkward for e actuallyone involved, nonetheless Tiffany will just have to fill in with it because this is what being a liaison requires, and I already danced so well, fulfilling my end of the bargain.\r\nCliff says that Tiffany and I have a cumulation in common at this organise and that you and I have very picayune in common, because we are in very different lays. I thought he meant that you were in Maryland and I was in New Jersey, but it turns out he means that I am unbosom fighting to regain my mental health, and you are mentally stable. I asked Cliff wherefore he would want me to pursue a relationship with someone who is as mentally unstable as me, and he give tongue to that you were not able to support me in the way I needed to be supported, which is why our marriage failed. I got very mad at Cliff when he said that, especially since I am the one to blame, but he insisted that you allowed me to stick the person I was by modify me †never putting me in my place and allowing me to emotionally abuse you for so long. He says that Tiffany will not allow me to do this and that our friendship is based on a mutual need and a committal to bettering ourselves through physical fitness and dance.\r\nTiffany and I are great friends, and I advise all that she is doing for me now. But she is not you. I still love you, Nikki. And you cant control or alter true love.\r\nMom analyse out The Catcher in the rye whisk y from the Collingswood Public Library. I desire Holden Caulfield very much and felt a circulate of sympathy for him because he really was a nice guy, always trying to do right by his sister Phoebe, yet always failing, like when he bought that write down for Phoebe and broke it before he could give it to her. I also liked how he was always so broken about what the NYC ducks do in winter. Where do they go? But my favorite part was the ending, when Holden takes his sister to the carousel and she rides on the dollar and tries to reach for the lucky ring. Holden says, â€Å"I was sort of afraid shed bead off the blessed horse, but I didnt say anything or do anything. The thing with kids is, if they want to snatch for the gold ring, you have to let them do it, and not say anything. If they fall off, they fall off, but its bad if you say anything to them.” When I read this, I thought about your writing that I was in my trice childhood and that I would have to â€Å" allo w the basement” someday. But then I thought about how my improving myself and larn how to dance with Tiffany was like reaching for the gold ring, which is you. Nikki, you are my gold ring. So maybe I will fall off the goddamn carousel, but I have to reach for you, right?\r\nI want to see you. I want to talk to you face-to-face. expert once. Afterward, if you never want to see me again, I can live with that. unspoilt give me one chance to memorialise you how much I have changed. Just one chance. One face-to-face meeting. Please.\r\nLove,\r\n glib-tongued\r\n'
