Dear Melinda,

You helped reveal to me how “love me because I’m neurotic and extremely J.D. Salingerish” I was fast becoming. (or gradually had become) [choose one] A lot of shit was suddenly revealed as such.

For your assistance in my plight, thanks, friend. For the healing.

One should never take healing for granted.

It’s a pity our heads aren’t together now. But some things just are, Lennie. Hope your head is good to you.

Love and Peace,

Larry (your pal)
