That may be a little premature. How about a get-well-soon letter:

Dearest Meatloaf,

Although we only knew each other for a short time, you will never be forgotten.
From the moment I stepped foot onto your lovely, once beige carpet and inhaled
your intoxicating aroma of leftover booze and man sweat, I knew good times were
in store.

I would have never dreamed, however, that our relationship would end so far from
where it started. When your wheels rolled to a stop at mile marker 155 off of
I-76 in eastern Colorado I knew something had gone horribly wrong. Your engine
wouldn?t fire, but you kept your generator humming, making sure we were not
without light or heat in our cold, dark time. For 16 hours you were there for
us when no one else was. You were strong, Meatloaf, but not strong enough.

You now reside in Kearney, Nebraska where I hope they are treating you well. We
all miss you and wish you the best of luck in your recovery. I hope to hear
from you soon. I just don?t know how I will ever be able to go on the road
again without you.

Love and Heartache,
Lindsey
