We met at work. I've seen you around before, you were the new girl. We talked one night and I loved it. I gave you a note the next time I saw you asking you out for coffee. You were going to give me your reply the next day. That was three weeks ago... I haven't seen you since you smiled at me as you were leaving that night I gave you the note. Every day I look for you at work hoping I'll see you and get your reply... and every day I'm disappointed. I wish I knew what happened to you, where you went. I'm still waiting for your answer... —Your Humble Admirer
Thank you for giving me such a wonderful birthday! The wicked awesome whale case for my phone, the amazingly perfect for my needs textbook of Architecture, the Gummies and the foil balloon which means so much to me! I love you so much, and look forward to holding your hand today on our adventure 2.8x10^-4km. Therefore... < III is greater then < 3. I < III you... sorry for geeking up The Coast with nonsense math. —Altair, The Sentimental Assassin
To the people on Brunswick Street who spent two hours helping me start my lousy car, Thank you all so much! It was snowing and late and I'm sure everyone had somewhere to be early in the morning but your friendliness and 100% effort in helping me get home was more than appreciated. Thank you for the peppermint chocolates and for running back and forth from your homes with odds and ends to help get that darn car running! The people in Halifax really are the kindest and most helpful to their fellow human! If I run into any of you a coffee is on me! —Extremely appreciative guy with a lousy car
To the driver of the 2 to Wedgewood Saturday at 4—thank you. We need more people in the world like you. My school ID/bus pass fell between the seats, never to be seen again... or so I thought. You got in touch with dispatch, found a service technician, and retrieved my bus pass from the depths of the seat before the day was over. Thanks to you, I've been relieved of the headache and cost of getting a new one (which is huge for a poor, overwhelmed university student). I hope your good karma is returned ten-fold. —Clumsy Girl in the Back
It is always nice to send a little love. So, for my best friends (and more than that) thank you guys (and gals) for being you. You sometimes get under my skin but hey that's what you're here for right? "You find out who your friends are" love you crazy beaver bankers to death. —Gypsy
Thank you for being the most positive person I have ever encountered. You brighten my day every Tuesday and Thursday. I am on the road to getting fit, and you are there to cheer me on. I love Zumba! —Newest Zumba-ite
Thank you so much for taking me in while I'm going through this breakup. Really, it's been a long time coming. You guys let me and my kitty into your home with open arms. I hope you understand how fantastic you all are!! M, C, M You're amazing kind hearted people, Karma will treat you well, I am so grateful for your help, we both are! —The girl in your living room
To a dear co-worker I once had, you showed me more kindness, patience and tolerance than I've ever seen in the workplace before. You were always there to give this greenhorn's self esteem a boost and you never minded sharing your wealth of knowledge with me. On days when I felt like a total and complete idiot, you always had something positive and nice to say that made me think that hey, maybe I'm not so stupid after all. Your gentle and zen approach to solving daily problems set one of the best examples I could ever have had.
It was because of your unselfish, unpretentious kindness that I was able to move forward with my career with confidence and begin to master my skills by simply being willing to build that confidence. It was because of this that I was able to find out what my strengths in my industry are, and begin to utilize them properly. You reminded me why I chose my profession in the first place and renewed my faith in my own capabilities. It was because of this that I am on a fast track to someday becoming an industry leader. I never minded being bad at some of the things I tried because I was guided with such gentleness and kindness that it didn't seem to matter.
Maybe my relative incompetence back then drove you crazy. I have no idea. But all you ever put forth was encouragement and love. And that's enough. Thank you. You're someone I am proud to call my friend. —Dr. Stupid
You were a breath of fresh air when my nose had gotten used to the same stale BS that men have to offer. We had such fun! I even started thinking... maybe. But then you pushed when you should have just kept being there. You scared me away and I miss you. I miss the way it was... the way it should have stayed. Good luck figuring out your life and realizing how wonderful you are. —Skittish and sincere
Thank you for letting me go after so many years. You did not treat me well and I would have never left you. Yes, the pain is unbearable but this is for the best. I hope you find what you are looking for. —Simply Agonizing Divorcee
