Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't. And remember
the time I dragged you to the beach, and you said it would
rain, and it did? I thought you'd say, "I told you
so." But you didn't. Do you remember the time I
spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug? I thought
you'd hit me, but you didn't. And remember the time I
forgot to tell you the wedding was formal and you showed up in
jeans? I thought you'd yell at me, but you didn't. Yes,
there were lots of things you didn't do, But you put up
with me, and you loved me, and you protected me. There were
lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned
from Iraq.
Sincerely, ...but you didn't.
