Sometimes life thows you a curveball and you have to address things that need to be said before it’s too late. I am sorry that I made your life difficult. I am sorry that I behaved badly. I am sorry it took me too long to let go. Be happy, find your path, keep smiling, and enjoy life. —Ms. C.

When my sister was sick and before she passed she wrote letters to people she had conflict with during her life. She gave them to me to hold on to until she was gone. I asked her why now and she said she wanted to ease her mind. Selfish? Perhaps, but after I delivered the letters I received calls from the recipients saying thank you.
I don’t know if you are simply moving away OL or if it is something similar to my sister. Either way, rest easy, you’ve done what you felt you need to do.
In essence she did that so she could rest easy knowing wounds were healed and no bad memories. Her soul would be at peace. My dad did the same, only verbally, I relayed that info to each of my sibs individually, he loved each and every one in his own way.
OP, the hardest part of any relationship is knowing when to let go, props to you.
OL, I knew you would likely do this. While I think you have nothing – NOTHING to apologise for, I know you wouldn’t rest without at least trying.
Love you and I’ll be with you until the end.
My darling friend – this is simply another challenge to face. You’ll meet it with your usual good humour and laughter. Like noseeums wrote, you will be surrounded with love always.
I’ve told you this before – you have no reason to apologise for the situation you found yourself embroiled in. It was irrational and illogical. The pathetic part is, you will never get closure, they cannot cope with admitting fault. Rest easy, you did everything you could.
Love you.
