I was hoping you could hear me. And if you did, that you would give me a tilt of the head, just so I knew that you were listening… Just in case, you’re mind has gone crazy, I’ll repeat it, and then again for as long as it takes to believe it:

“You are amazing, a spectacular wonder for the world. If not the billions of people world, you’re a wonder in mine.”

“I believe in you, even when you don’t.”

“When you talk, I want to listen to every word you say. Because I care about your ideas, thoughts, stories, and yes, even your opinions.”

“I love it when you smile, but only when you do it because you want to, not when you have to.”

“You are smarter than you realize. Yes, I can easily say smarter than me. And, hey, that’s okay.”

“If anything was to happen to you, that I should have realized or asked about, I would hate myself. Because you really are that important to me.”

“I’ll wait for you. I won’t leave you in the dust, because, trust me, I can’t.”

“You are a person. A person that can only take so much.”
