Rebekah Gregory DiMartino held a "Left Leg Last Hurrah" dinner over the weekend, The Boston Globe reported. She also penned a"breakup letter" to her lost limb on Facebook, which read:

Hey it's me.

I'm sure it won't come as a shock to you when I say that we've grown apart. The love that we once had has dwindled, and this relationship has become a real burden on my life. We have been through a lot together. We have seen a lot of places, done a lot of things, and you have helped me through some of the toughest steps thus far. I promise to always treasure that. And I'm not saying this isn't hard for me. It is. But as tough as it may be, I feel like our time together has come to an end. I need to feel everyday that by having a relationship with you, I am becoming a better person. And for a long while now, I haven't felt like that. Instead, I feel like you are holding me back from really reaching my full potential. Now I get this is probably pretty tough to hear me say, but I have never lied to you and I don't plan to start now. What I need is something you can't give me anymore. And the empathy that you require, I can no longer handle. I love you. I really do. But I think I need to start on the next leg of my journey. So with that said, I have enclosed a gift certificate that I hope you will use. Go get yourself one last pedicure on me and enjoy it because tomorrow...I will be cutting you out of my life for good.

Wishing you the best wherever you end up,

Rebekah

It would be a tough thing to deal with, good that she found a way. I think she should be allowed to spend as much quality time as she wanted with a baseball bat and the bomber chained to a steel chair bolted to the floor of a concrete room with a floor drain.
