I especially love your understanding and acceptance of your friends, because they are navigating life as well...and they're sixteen, too. But I think my favorite part of your letter was your ending:<br /><br />"Most importantly, be content. That life that you have been day dreaming about since you were old enough to know what you wanted...it's yours. It's all within your grasp. Don't wish away these moments though, you'll want to relive them as age dull the edges."<br /><br />What a lovely message to leave with your sixteen year old self. One that I need to remember even now. When I'm rushing to try to make all my dreams come true, I sometimes lose site of the here and the now and how beautiful that is.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your letter today and linking up with The Lightning and the Lightning Bug.Katie @ Chicken Noodle Gravyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852793993330125727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-404081140509490088.post-34265524241405647932011-06-26T16:04:17.445-04:002011-06-26T16:04:17.445-04:00I'm soaring, Crystal!! You wrote yourself the ...I'm soaring, Crystal!! You wrote yourself the most uplifting and encouraging letter. Honest, but kind. <br /><br />This part.."It's hills and valleys, please remind yourself that someone out there has a bigger plan. Remember the good times and be thankful for all the time we were able to spend with him." Amen. I only hope that if my children are going through any sort of hardship, I am able to channel your wisdom and deliver it in such a beautiful manner. I feel comforted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
