Goodbye My Love

Pool Lanzarote

My love,

I laid in bed crying, and thinking of you all day. After all these years with you, the time has come to say goodbye.

I want you to know that I have always loved you. You have given me so much – more than I ever could have dreamed of. Of course I disliked you at times, but I have always loved you.

You are the reason I came to America. Through you I found friends for life. Thanks to you I became who I am today.

I can’t believe that after 17 years of swimming I have completed my last practice, finished my last race, done my last stroke.

I am going to miss you.

Thank you for everything.
