All My Love

Dear Computer,

I <3 u.  I just want to get that out of the way from the get-go.

You have given me one of the best gifts ever.  Nevermind that I have to pay for it.  That's not important.

The Internet.

You hold the Internet which gives me email and Facebook and Twitter and Google and Wikipedia and banking and math help and recipes and BLOGGING.

Right here, right now, I am sitting here writing you this love letter ON MY BLOG which is ON THE INTERNET.

Because of you, dear computer, I can share my life with those I love when we can't be together, and they can do the same.  I can meet new people and make new friends even though I am just a lowly stay-at-home mom.  I can search for anything my brain is curious about.  You even make paying bills more fun that it used to be.

Because of you, my flat black beauty, I am instantly connected to the world outside my door anytime I want to be, day or night, 24/7.  I can find news, games, TV shows, movies, comics, ebooks, shopping and more.  I can reach out for support or help with a problem and get it with the just the click of your cute little mouse.  I can even never again hand write ANYTHING if I don't want to.

You teach and entertain my children.  They can play educational math games or Plants vs. Zombies.  They can take care of their Webkinz!  You  are helping me to raise well-rounded kids and it touches my heart.

Yes, I freely and openly admit that I love you, Computer.  No, I will never apologize or make excuses!  I don't care if people judge us because they don't understand.  It is what it is.  And what it is, is a beautiful relationship.


I wrote this in response to the Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop prompt #5: Write a love letter to an inanimate object.

  4. I feel the same about my computers, cameras, phone and other gadgets. I could never isolate and write to just one, would be unfair :)
    You wrote this with such passion :)
