Trips pt 2 and a response.

Thanks for all of the ideas you emailed in. I got responses ranging from "Duluth" to "Camping locally", to "fly her to Chicago for $50". All good ideas.

The most lengthy response belongs to Courtney from Minneapolis. It's only a few sentences, but it made me smile.

She wrote:

Sean, I think taking your daughter on a plane for the first time is a really cool idea, no matter where you go. I am sure you two will have fun.

I would also like to add that if you would like to have someone accompany you to Seattle, I am more than willing to go. I have friends out there and it would be fun to see them. I would also like to get to know you. You seem like a great guy.

Courtney

Thanks for the offer Courtney and I hope publishing your letter wasn't a negative experience for you. I am flattered that you'd like to get to know me, but I am just working through this breakup and am finding my own ground to stand on at this point.


I also had one more response to the final question from yesterday:

Nick from South Dakota wrote:

I am responding to the question about missing someone. Sometimes when a relationship ends, people block their ability to feel or to miss someone. I split up with a woman a year ago and I missed her so much that it made me depressed. I'd felt suffocated in our relationship and we split up, but I needed to get through my own issues before I could go back. I cried for days and finally decided that missing her and wanting her back wouldn't solve anything until I fixed myself. I "locked away" my feelings for her and went through my counseling. I missed her every single day but I wouldn't let myself feel that. When my therapy had ended, I called her and told her I had missed her the whole time and I asked for her forgiveness. She took me back and we are still happily together today. It's a tough road to walk when you put so much love into a relationship and it ends. I wish you luck.

Thanks Courtney and Nick.
