To Our Magnanimous Friend

Having a friend that will take the brunt of your misery so you may find peace of mind is an amazing thing. We find such people rarely in life with the fortitude to withstand our never-ending incoherent rants. While we know several people that may fit this bill depending on the subject, one in particular we feel deserves a special mention and appreciation for all that he is and all that he means to us.

Things have been dark and twisty for us as of late. Present circumstances have found us hurt, angry, and confused. Our hopes have been picked up, only to be crushed repetitively with so many WTFs that it's starting to become a permanent mantra in our vocabulary.

Through all of the tears, all of the yelling, screaming, and fighting, you were there. Consistent and steady, with a shoulder to lean on big enough to span several continents. Your self-sacrificing ability to listen and not judge us gave us the strength we needed to push forward and through the misery of our circumstances.

Your shining light has seen us through many dark hours.

You are the type of person we want our children to grow up to be. Kind and considerate, with unlimited patience to listen, even when we grew tired of hearing our own voices. You always know what to say and when to say it even when we think there is nothing left to say.You showed us the true meaning of friendship by simply being.

Our world may be small but you will always be a big part of it. No matter what, no matter where, know that we love you as you love us. That you have our never-ending support and we will never forget the kindness you freely handed us.

We are blessed because we have you in our lives, Adam. =)

Incoherent Reflections

I have removed this post because it isn't doing me or anyone else any good. Those of you that were meant to read it have done so; it is what it is. Life isn't meant to remain stagnant; it is ever-flowing.

The anger and irritation of it dragging on just isn't worth it to me. It is just detaining me from achieving other things. Better things =)

I still love you all very much! I find it truly amazing that when I need you all, you are there, no matter what it is. It is most definitely reciprocated. I know the best people in the world.

I still want an apology, but I doubt I'll ever get one. I'll come to terms with that eventually too.

In the meantime, I'm going to go write about love and laughter. After all, not everything needs to be dark and twisty.
