Dear Partner:

For all those times I yelled ‘I got it!” but I didn’t. For reaching and hogging your ball… For setting a plan then royally blowing it. For making weird excuses like “we lost because it was Monday…” For missing the easy sitters you so beautifully set up for me. For getting distracted by lawnmowers and birds. For sometimes being a bad partner…

I just want to say THANK YOU for sticking with me. I’m learning to play better and be more mature. But it takes time. Longer than I thought. I promise it will pay off. And if it doesn’t, there’s always wine…
