Dear friend,
The years have past, and we grow old (physically, not mentally...hopefully). You have often been my voice of reason, and last summer my rock.
I know that we have gone years and not said a word, I know that it was my fault...for that I am sorry. I am so glad that we have each other back. I just want you to know that I am ALWAYS here for you no matter what.
I can't imagine what your mind must be going through. I only pray that you DS will be just fine. I wish I could wave a magic wand, and make it all better. I feel like there are no words that I can say, that will help. So, I will just say, I love you, and will be thinking about you all day tomorrow.
I do want to also include this poem from a friend of mine. I, am so not trying to make you cry...It does make me cry every time. But it is a "good" cry.
Be well, and I will be praying!
So many feelings in my head today
you seem so young to be on your way
But with tearful eyes and a smiling face
I sent you off with a long embrace.
I hid my tears as you were leaving
for fear you'd see how my heart was grieving.
I whispered to you "Be brave and strong,
Mommy will be back before too long."
As I looked into your eyes, I knew
it was me who needed those words, not you!
Has it really been five years gone by?
Since first I sang that lullaby
to a tiny baby, so soft and round,
calmed only by my heart's sound?
The years rushed by so quickly dear
and now each moment seems so clear;
first steps, first words, first secret whispers,
first time you held your baby sisters.
Your best friend is a brown stuffed bunny.
You take him everywhere, but itsn't it funny,
today he sits on your favorite chair,
I watched you as you placed him there.
"I go to school today", you said
and gently, patting him on his head,
assured him you'd be back soon
and off you skipped, out of the room.
I stayed there with Bunny, for just a while.
It gave me comfort and made me smile.
Being alone with him, your well worn friend,
as your babyhood days came to an end.
"Mommy, Hurry!" you called to me,
"There's something you just have to see!"
"I drew this picture all my myself,
I cut it out and it's on the shelf.
It's a caterpillar and a butterfly.
I drew it for you, do you know why?"
You placed the picture in my hand.
"Come on Mom, don't you understand?"
"This is just like me today!
I've changed, like him and can fly away!"
My eyes welled up with pride and tears.
You're wise, my child, beyond your years.
I knew it then, you were truly ready.
So with newfound strength and hands more steady,
off we went to a brand new start
with only happiness in my heart.
We walked together up the hall,
your hand in mine, still so small.
Your teacher was wiating there at the door,
so I knelt down then, just one thing more.
In your ear I whispered, "fly my child."
You knew my meaning and you smiled.
So many feelings in my head today.
But, I know you are ready to be on your way.
