Dear Mr. Melissa Blake:
Newsflash from way back in 2009: Warning, warning. There is nothing even remotely sexy or desirable about me.
See, it’s times like these that I actually wish you were hear. I’m not needing you to defend my honor or anything – I, obviously, am capable of doing those sorts of things for myself – but just to see your face in reaction to some of the things people say. Depending on who you are, I’m pretty sure we’re going to get a few stares in our direction; you’re not a very private person, are you? That could most definitely be a problem, Sweetpea.
What made you fall in love with me? I’d really like to know because apparently, to some people, my disability makes me very undesirable. I’m talking run-in-the-other-direction-screaming undesirable. If I’m so unattractive, what exactly did make you fall in love with me?
I’ve been thinking about that a lot back in 2009. I won’t pretend that I’m prettier and more gorgeous than a California blonde – I mean, let’s be realistic here.
So I’m thinking I got you to marry me either one or all of the following ways:
*Charmed the pants off you (in a metaphorical way, of course).
*Paid an obscene amount of money in one of those bachelor auctions.
*Do they still have mail-order husband wherever you are?
Now of course I know those are completely illogical reasons and not the reasons you’ll fall in love with me, but lately, people I don’t even know have been making me feel like that. And as mad as I am at their ignorance and downright rudeness, I’m even madder at myself that I even let their dumb opinions cut me so deep.
Why is it that a disability can turn people into ugly, evil monsters? Is it really such an uncomfortable thing? I know you don’t think so, and believe me, I am very grateful for that.
On a related note, I am looking forward to falling in love with you…your charm…your sense of humor (I hope it’s a bit quirky)…your laugh…your tenderness…your sensitivity…your sexy brain…your sexy brain…oh and of course…your sexy brain.
Until we meet…

He's out there lady. And I bet he's just wonderful and wondering where his lady love is.
Marie says
I love this! I wrote letters to my future husband and was able to give them to him the night before our wedding. It was really neat.
He's out there and he's going to be a great guy 😀

I wasn't saying that it was your disability that makes you unattractive or undesirable. I'm saying it's part of the rich tapestry of things that make you unattractive and undesirable, first and foremost of which, your ridiculous lifetime movie/hallmark/precious moments attitude and outlook and your total lack of a sense of humor.
Do you know what a straw man argument is?

Trust me, he's out there. I'm sitting here by the fireplace typing this post, while my husband of 26 years plays guitar and watches a crummy scifi movie from the '50s. We love each other more than ever.
Your blog is gorgeous, and filled with so many pretties. I'm really impressed by your blog and your writing.

This is so sweet. Before I met Match, I wrote a list of qualities I wanted in my future husband. And no joke, a month later I met Match, and he matched every single one. The right guy is out there for you, you just have to keep positive!

Why do you continue to read Melissa's blogs if you hate them so much? Are you really that bored and have nothing better to do?
Fine, so you don't find Melissa's personality desirable. There are many out there who love Melissa's personality just as she is. Not everyone in the world is going to love everyone. I can guarantee none of us find your personality desirable, either. And Mel has a great sense of humor, not that you'd ever know.
Get lost already.
