Here is my "Dear John" letter to my uterus before my hysterectomy. It completes Katie's weekly challenge that called for nothing but paper, pens, and pictures. The letter reads:
Dear Old Friend,
I've been meaning to talk to you about this for a while. We both know there have been issues for a long time. It has finally reached a point that I won't pretend things are fine anymore. I feel like I can be completely honest with you. We have been through SO MUCH together. Remember, when I was a pre-teen and I'd pray for you to make the first move. I didn't want to be the last girl to start. Then, later, there were times I prayed for you because I wasn't ready for motherhood. You knew that. There were times you let me down. I was trying so hard to fill you, and you rejected me. There were even times you gave me false hope. You held babies that I will never hold, but I forgave you that. Then, you blessed me: four times! Jake, Cristina, Daniel and Gabriela-something I will always thank you for. I know, I know...it wasn't all easy. Cervical cancer left us scarred, but you were strong for us. We worked through it together. Now this. I feel a little betrayed by you. The pain is uncalled for and unfair. My life is altered every month due to these cycles. It really has to stop, but not without a lot of thinking on my part. So, when we part company, please remember that I'll always remember you fondly. However, you aren't leaving me less of a woman, but a whole new one instead!
-Me
