To the nameless couple who saved my best friend from being raped near Sackville Street on Saturday night: I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!

She woke up on your couch dazed and confused knowing only that two super hero citizens stepped in and stopped the attack. I know not who you are but every day I see my friend smile, I will thank you. —ET

I can't tell you how much I miss kissing you on your kitchen floor, and just simply being around you.

Knowing you changed my life. I've never had a friend like you, a love like you, a woman I wanted to spend my life with like you.

I don't want it to end like this either. Call me when you get back. —Babes

Was that Megan Leslie singing and shaking with Royal Wood at the coho Friday night? Now that's the kind of representing this constituent respects! —Shake it to the left

Waking up to you every morning feels like winning the lottery. I don't know how I ended up finding such a wonderful person in my life but I promise I will never let you go. —Bean Face

We both said a break would be good, but I had no idea how hard this would be. And now you are on the other side of the water and I am missing you so much.

I know you know, but I want to tell you: Running is not the same, but I think of you every time. I know you are good and I am glad. Smile. —Running alone with you

This is to the wonderful north end baristas who randomly appeared at our table with "Bon Voyage" cupcakes (a vanilla one and a chocolate one, with "Bon Voyage" written around the plate in caramel sauce!) this evening:

Thank you for making our last night in Halifax a memorable one. Our group was loud and obnoxious at times (sorry!), but you guys were wonderful.

Why am I leaving again? Thanks for proving what a great place Halifax can be. By the time this goes live, I'll already be in Australia, but I hope you see it anyway. :) —Trinket

I met you at a weird time in my life... just getting home from a long "business trip" that day and newly single. You were in the same boat, more or less.

You showed me how healthy interaction should be between two people... I'm forever grateful. Truth is, now I'm at a point where I want to be more than just great company from time to time...

I miss our evening conversations and bump ins in the courtyard... love the new place. Love the smile on your face every time I see you... —A good neighbour

You make me smile each and every day. You are beautiful. You are wonderful. You are sweet.

Thanks for the sandwich babe. —Me

Dear Halifax:

It's time to bid you farewell for a while. I lived, loved, and breathed you my entire life, and I take you in my heart.

I'm needed elsewhere for a while, but please don't fret - I promise I'll return. I will miss you every day, and will think of you often, and with great fondness.

I will not/could never forget you - I grew up by your COASTline, and am certain there's a measure of salt water in my veins. You will always be home to me, and I will always return to you. I love you, city of my heart. —SK-bound

I hope that you know how much I really value our 'friendship" or whatever it has grown into! Seeing you drive into the yard gives me a little jolt of happiness every time.

I know things are very complicated and impossible for you, but the little bit that I do have is enough, and I hope it is worth it for you too! —Chester Basin
