An Open Letter to My Medical Condition

Dear Pesky Cough,

I know we've been together for three magical months now, and we've had our share of good times. That week in Florida together was great, wasn't it? You've been there for me through doctor visits and medical tests, hard times at work... you've even been right there while I did ordinary things like making dinner for my family or watching cartoons. I can't complain about your loyalty and dedication, that's for sure.

But I have something to tell you. This just... isn't working out for me, and I think it's time for you to move on.

I know this is going to be hard on you, and I promise it isn't you, it's me. You've been everything a cough should be, but I'm just not ready for this kind of relationship. Maybe when I'm a little older I'll be ready to really settle down with a cough, but right now, I'm still too immature.

Thanks for your understanding, cough. I'm sure there's somebody else out there for you. You're really a great cough, and you deserve to meet someone special.

Lots of love,
--Andrea

Coughs like to be traded, sort of like baseball players. Maybe you could find someone with a neat hangnail and trade for your cough.
It's a thought...
