GF and I have a bit of a history. We’ve dated several times before and we’re on what we affectionately call “Part 3” now. On my birthday last year I got the following email:
'Gone' doesn't mean forgotten. Happy Birthday - may the year bring all that's best.
To which I replied…
Thank you so very much - It means a lot to me that you remembered to write.I've been thinking about you a lot. In fact, I even started composing an email to you last week, but (obviously) I haven't sent it yet. I'm not sure what I was waiting for - perhaps it was this note from you. The basic gist of that email, in a far less eloquent manner, is as follows:
At one time you had written that if the road did ever lead back to you that I should dare to take it. Alas, I am daring. I don't know what has changed in your world and I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to see me again.
If, by chance you too are still daring, and you do want to see/talk to me again, I can offer no assurances. But I do know this - I never want to hurt you again.
There is so much more I want to write, but none if it sounds right, or even appropriate at this time.
Whatever you decide, you will never be forgotten.
Obviously, things went well from there forward. Today marks 1 year from our “first date” for Part 3, hence it is our anniversary of sorts.
Happy anniversary dear. I love you with all of my heart.
Happy Anniversary of Sorts!

Congrats to the both of you, and I hope you got lots of cuddles and snuggles on the day!
