Dear Guardian Angel One,
I’m not angry with you. I was going to call you today to tell you all about it. I think you’re right about the politics. And I’ve told my editor that I don’t want to go there.
But, I guess what I feel hurt about is that I felt that your love and respect for me has some conditions, and that if I write something you disprove of, you would no longer respect me, or love me. That’s what hurt. But I showed the e-mails to Eric and he didn’t think that I was right in my “conditional love” reading.

I do know that you love me, and you only meant to help. I just hope that if I do in the future say anything that you don’t approve of, or if I say something in a different way from you, that you won’t pull the plug and stop supporting me. (The sentence that you would no longer read my blog and wouldn’t send people my way is, I guess, where I got hurt).
But I love you too.
Therese
