Dear Emergency Fund,
I know we didn't get to know each other too well, being that you were around for about a WEEK, but I just wanted to let you know it was really nice having you around, just knowing that you were there for me in my time of need. I just really appreciated your company a lot.
I know things went fast so between us. You came and left so quickly. I don't want you to think I was pushing you away, but let's be honest; you are an "emergency fund" and as far as I'm concerned, it's considered an emergency when dental surgery is involved. I'm sorry, Emergency Fund, that I chose to have a root canal instead of you. Please don't take it personally! It's not you, it's me. I chose my own selfish needs of having a front tooth and not being in pain instead of you.
Don't fret. There will be a day very soon when we will be together again. I promise. I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that we will be reunited swiftly so that you and I together can set out on our mission to do all the things that we dreamed of togehter.
And let's look on the bright side. It's not like I used you for something friviolus to satisfy my own wants. You wenre't replaced with Guitar Hero, a new computer, a nice pair of boots. I didn't cast you aside to go on vacation or grocery shopping or Christmas gifts or to pay bills. I hope you take some comfort in that.
Well, I bid you farewell for now. I still have a very small piece of you with me ($256.50) and will work on rebuilding you back up to the $1000 emergency fund you once were! I promise. And thanks again for being there when I needed you, because I don't know what I would have done without you!!!
Much Love,
Me

(p.s. for anyone who is wondering, our foster dog is officially home now! She's 20 lbs. underweight and needs much TLC to get back on her feet. She got spayed this week [the shelter pays for it] and is recovering from that, and she seems to have a few behavior issues that we'll need to work on, but I'm so glad she didn't get PTS as this girl will make a wonderful pet for a loving family one day!)
