Dear Nahal,
What more can I say to you that I haven't already? Every day I find myself searching for words that haven't been said, words that can tell you how much you mean to me, how you save me time and time again. Standing on that beach last weekend looking out over the water, I felt free, I felt unbelievably myself, and it was truly one of the only moments I have felt that way without you being there by my side. You are the ONLY person in the world who makes me feel like it is 100% OK to just be ME. The good, bad, and the ugly, no matter how I am feeling or what I'm thinking, you make me feel like it's all perfectly normal. I have no idea what or who brought us together, but wherever and whatever they are, they must love me a whole bunch to have brought me someone as amazing as you. I love you. Such simple words for how I feel, but it's just because no amount of words could ever express my love and gratitude for having you.
Dear Mama & Papa Jim,
Everyday I realize more and more that I am the luckiest girl in the world to have you as parents. I hear a lot of people talk about how their parents don't understand them, or are forcing them in to being someone they aren't and I can't relate to them at all. Because you two accept me for who I am, what I want, and exactly where I am headed on this crazy path I've chosen. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and I will never be able to say that enough. You guys are at the core of what parents should be, I love you both so much.
Dear Daddy,
Thank you for helping me and loving me in your own unique way. It gives me peace knowing that you love me more than anyone else in your life, even if it's not in a way that other people can easily see. I'm so sorry for what you are going through and I pray for you every day. I miss you and love you.
Dear JB,
Please don't let me down. I know I let you down... but I tried my hardest to make it up to you, to reach out to you, and you kept pushing me further away. I did not expect to hear from you again and then you rocked my world with one message. I was just beginning to feel ok again, to move on. Which I have said a million times, is not what I wanted to do. If you really do want to talk to me, please make time for me, you know I would make time for you the second you needed me. I miss you, I just wanted a chance to explain myself, to gain closure, or maybe to show you we could be something great? Just maybe... but you have to give it another chance, or we will never find out.
***Ok, enough with the sappy----on to the silly***
Dear LifeTime Athletic,
You are my most favorite job I've ever had. So much so that I am willing to give up my weekends and show up for work at 5am on Fri, Sat, & Sun... now THAT is LOVE.
Dear Apartment,
Please clean yourself and make my clothes magically be put away in my closet, nice & neat. While you're at it.... go ahead and rebuild my closet and buy clothes & shoes that fit me and fill it up with those. Make it look like the pic below, ok? Please and thank you in advance!
Dear Muscles,
You guys rock, period.
Dear Warrior Dash,
Get ready. I'm coming for you.

ReplyDeletesweet letters! and that warrior dash looks intense! get it, girl.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori!! I liked your letters too :)Good job on getting healthy!! Keep at it, it's worth it in the end. :)
DeleteThat is at tremendous post. Thank you my love, your comments mean so very much to me. You WILL NEVER understand how much until you have raised a child of your own and endured those scary teen years and wondered if your child will ever be able to see past the mistakes you made as a parent - hoping they can forgive you for not always seeing what they needed or knowing how to respond. You hope that one day they will understand that you were only able to try your best, a best that at times, especially as the young single Mom I was, was not always enough. I am so happy we have found this love and trust and bond between us - my heart overflows everyday with it. You really have no idea how much joy you bring into my life everyday just by being my daughter. Love you! Your Mama
