I am in no way attempting to tell you how to relate to X, nor am I making any attempts to tell you what you should or should not do with regards to them. Those are your decisions to make, and you are entitled to them. Your feelings are more than valid on this issue.

I am sorry for upsetting you with my words. You asked if any of us thought some of this was too much to ask for, and I responded with my feelings on the subject; nothing more.

I will miss you.
