Dear reader,
Maybe there’s an art to apologizing. Maybe, like any art, it takes practice. This piece came through a few weeks ago, imagining my way into someone else’s shoes, and I share it here in the spirit of practice. I know it was helpful for me to write. I hope it finds a useful life in the reading.
Sincerely,
Andrew
I’m so sorry.
That’s the first thing
and the main thing
and I’ll come back to it.

But the second thing I want to say
right away is
thank you.
Thank you for your willingness to let me know I hurt you.
I don’t take it for granted that you would trust me with that information
and it means a lot to me that you took the risk to share it.
