Dear Canada,
Let me begin by saying that I really do miss you. Time and time again over the past 2 months I have come to your defence on subjects ranging from poutine, to having a beaver as a national symbol, and to what the Europeans say is our lack of an individual culture. And, you really have a good thing going for yourself with your strict no smoking laws - you can only miss something when it's gone.
You really are a great country and I'll always love you for it. I'm extremely proud when anything remotely Canadian is mentioned/seen - including, and not limited to Canadian maple syrup at the market. But alas my dear country, we have been apart for two months now and I am starting to feel us drift apart. You see, I've been seeing these other countries like Austria, Hungary and Switzerland, and their amazing culture, history and scenary leaves me feeling like there's so much more out there for me.
It's not you - it's me. In two months a lot can change - circumstances change, countries change, people change - I've changed. I'm not saying that I never want to see you again - that's not it at all. You were my first one true love and I will always be extremely proud to call you my home.
I hope you can forgive me Canada, and please don't cry for me - we'll meet again someday soon. I want you to know that there will always be a special place in my heart for you. You really are one of a kind - the true north strong and free. Take care of yourself.
Until we meet again.
Love always,
Melinda

You are an amazing person miss Melinda Miller. Canada often tells me how much is misses you, but alas, Canada understands that you are exploring new things and venturing off to new worlds. We know you won't forget Canada, and Canada will never forget you! Haha, Love, Katie
