My response to G-d's apology.

Me: I forgive you. You just wanted to know and some things follow from some other things. Some things just are. You wouldn't hurt me on purpose. You've been my friend and never steered me wrong. I just didn't listen. I'm sorry I was so afraid you wouldn't like me that I didn't even talk to you for so long. I wouldn't have liked it if someone did it to me and of all the people I should observe the golden rule with, I turned away from you of all people.

I'm sorry G-d. I should have said so earlier, for all the times I didn't acknowledge you. It wasn't fair to you.

Thank you for everything I have. My wife, my mother-in-law, my dogs and cats, and all that. Thank you for being my friend.
