This blog is for you. You gave me the courage to stand out in a world on my own. To face the challenges of everyday with a smile on my face and to know that no matter what I could make it. When I looked to you for guidance you were there showing me the way to go. Teaching me that it was okay to make mistakes that is why they were called that. But the goal was to learn from them. You used laughter to show me how to face my fears and look them in the eyes and stare them down. I became the person I am because of the person you believed I could be. You showed me that love was unconditional it had no boundaries. I learned that I could make mistakes and no matter what you would never walk away from me. You were there with me through the good times and the bad holding my hand giving me the confidence to find within myself what I needed to take steps outside myself. You let me fly away all alone knowing I could but was there the minute I needed you. You never lied to me always telling me how it was, keeping it real. I learned to be strong but to never be so strong that I could not find my way back. You kept me grounded never letting me forget that I was beautiful inside and out. That my heart was pure and my innocence was a quality that was okay to have in this world.
If anyone gives me the passion to write it is you. You gave me the love of healing. To me that was the greatest gift I could have ever received. No one could ever understand what a gift that was to get. You taught me that I did not have to be be biter or angry. That overcoming all of that and being a better person was what it was about. You gave me the passion to feel the deepest kind of love, to be able to see myself. To see past all the hate in this world and anger that is in it and stand up to it. You showed me how to stay true to me and never let the world take away my wonder.
This is for you. Everything I write every word is on here written from my heart. Written with the passion that I have for what you gave me. Love. So while I miss you and love you with all my heart I know that you are out there reading this somewhere. You are a part of me and I have you with me everyday.
With every ounce of my heart I love you
