I would tell you not to waste your tears on those that you feel like do not see you...I see you and I know the person you are and the more wonderful person you are becoming! I would tell you that you are a wealth of amazing talent and to chase your dreams. I would tell you that you are generous to a fault. I would tell you that I know you would willingly lay down your life for your neice and nephew. I would tell you that I know you and your sister will become closer as the years go by...I would tell you that you are the greatest gift from God to your Mamaw and I.

If we were having coffee, I would hug you...Dear S,<br /><br />If we were having coffee, I would hug you for a long time, and tell you simply that I am SO PROUD of who you are becoming. Having seen where you've come from to get here...I'm so glad I got to go on this journey with you, and watch you grow. You are so full of strength and possibility, and it makes me so happy to see YOU seeing that. <br /><br />If we were having coffee, I would tell you that you have so much to offer the world, and I hope you keep letting your light shine on and on, brighter and brighter. <br /><br />If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that you are loved, and that you CAN love. I believe that your Papa knew exactly how much you loved him, and I believe that as long as you tell those around you how you feel, you'll never have to wonder.<br /><br />If we were having coffee, I would tell you that no matter what, I will always believe in and love you, and that I am SO SO happy to have you in my life.

I’ve been dealing with so many emotions lately, and your kindness and understanding have been so precious to me. You’ve made me feel better about myself, comforted me when I needed it, and made me feel loved and appreciated. I’ve enjoyed every moment that we’ve talked. <br /><br />You’re so strong and brave…you’ve clearly been through a lot, but despite the bitterness and regrets you talk about, it seems like you’re trying really hard to be the best you can be and to live your life to the fullest. I admire that so much, because I know it’s not easy. You have such a big heart and so much love to give. <br /><br />As you know, I don’t have many online friends either, and I’ve had a similar situation with losing a best friend who was like a member of my family. It hurts like hell, especially when something triggers a memory of all the fun times you used to have once upon a time. <br /><br />“They are my solid ground, the people I fall back on when I need a shoulder for support, a hand to hold, a soft squoosh, or someone to tell me what I need to hear even though I may not always want to hear it” This is how I feel about my online friends too. You’ve all been there for me more than my ‘real life’ friends who have no clue what’s going on in my life. They don’t see the sadness in my eyes or cheer me on when I’m working on a project or tell me silly little things to cheer me up…but you guys do, without even being able to SEE that I need cheering up or need that encouragement to keep me going. It means so much. <br /><br />Your niece and nephew are so lucky to have you as an aunt. It’s obvious how much you love them. <br /><br />I hope you have an incredible time on Saturday. It sounds amazing. What a great Christmas gift!<br /><br />I’m so glad beading and jewelry making has become something you love so much. I find that when your hands are busy and you’re doing something creative and yet mundane at the same time that your brain can be quiet. That’s why I knit. And that’s part of why I write too - when I’m thinking about characters and storylines and settings I’m not thinking about other things or dwelling on things. <br /><br />This was a really beautiful post. Thank you for sharing it and for being so open, honest, and brave.

I am slowly coming to terms as much as I can with his death, this whole grieving process, and trying to forgive myself for not realizing then what I know how. I can tell you, that I will continue to seek out my happiness, to grow and flourish, and become the better person that I want so desperately to be. I love coffee, we should talk more often. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796778737522213840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305474310057003841.post-64686890379284547402013-12-10T11:14:37.925-06:002013-12-10T11:14:37.925-06:00Susan, if we were having coffee I would tell you.....Susan, if we were having coffee I would tell you...that as a parent, your Papa knew you loved him. Despite the conflict, just as you know he loved you, so did he. As parents we can push past the child's struggles, anger, rebellion and still see the child whom we love and adore. I would tell you to be at peace, to find your happy and continue to grow as a person. I would invite you to coffee anytime.
