Dear Edmonton,
You and I have been together a long time now and as much as I enjoy spending time with you I feel that I have come to a point in my life where I need to move on. To greener pastures I guess you could say. Much, much greener.
You see, I've met a place recently and I feel a real connection. In fact I think I'm in love. I really feel like this is a place I could spend the rest of my life with. Her name is Vancouver Island and she's wonderful. Green and warm in the winter, sunny and full of life in the summer. She's perfect.
It's not that there is anything wrong with you, its just that you've been so busy recently. You've grown so much and have been so occupied with road construction and such that it makes it terribly hard for us to spend any quality time together.
I will always have fond memories of the time we shared and I hope that if we can't be together then we can at least be friends.
Take care of yourself,
-John Straathof
