For those keeping score, this is the second bear-theft-related apology on this site.
(Analysis: Handwritten notes are always good. But the wishful-yet-explicit mention of being forgiven — as well as the prominence of the word “forgive” [or forgev] here in general — is not appropriate for a note of apology. You may ask to be forgiven, but you may not depict yourself as already absolved. However, since the apologizer was six, we will grade on a curve.)
Bears. A lot of us have issues around bears.
I, unfortunately, have issues with the grizzly bear that charged me. I have even larger issues with the wildlife expert that removed and relocated the grizzly’s cub in the morning and did not aprize me of his activities.
In addition to appogizing to me, he should physically get real close to said grizzly mama and appologize to her. Abjectly and with humility.
She might have had a few unfortunate psychological issues and ramifications from the truncated relationship with her cub. Many apologies owed and still have issues with bears.
Alas, no ready-made cards seem to be available for any of these situations. We are on our own out here.
I certainly have issues around bears…
I thought it said “I’m sorry for talking about your build a bear”, like someone had trash talked the bear. I like my version better.
I like the flat line of the mouth on the forgiver: realistic sisterly forgiveness. “All right. I GUESS.”
