Dear Felix
I feel I should inform you that after several years of trying to reconcile our differences, Chris and I are separating. Our divorce will be final on February 28. His work abroad and mine in the theater have led us down two very different paths, and we both feel it best to go our separate ways.
I will continue to live in the same place with the children, and hope you will visit when you are in the area. Thank you for being such a good friend. I have sincerely appreciated your support.
Regards
Lydia
