Dear Friend: Hello Again


 



Hello again.......

 
It's been a while, and I miss you. We used to talk every day, and now time has passed by like a stranger.


You still live in my heart, your laughter rings out from my soul. We took comfort in our closeness - understanding the darkest moments and celebrating the light.

It's been a while, since I knew you. 
Time and distance are an excuse, time and distance are the reason.


Its been a while and I miss you.

Hello again my friend...

Dear Friend: Thank you for Listening

Dear friend,

You may never know how much your opinion matters to me, or when something you say will resound deeply in my soul. 

There are times when I feel lost, alone and unsure where to turn. I trust I can turn to you for an unfiltered opinion, or just a shoulder to cry on if that's what I need. 


There are few people in my life I trust with my deepest thoughts, and you are one of them. Thank you for listening..

Dear Friend: Guidance from a Stranger


Dear friend: Thank you for being supportive and encouraging to a stranger.

When we met, you looked beyond what I was showing the outside world and our friendship began. I was just beginning my journey on a path you had already traveled down for many miles. You encouraged me when I was unsure and insecure, and guided me with enthusiasm for our common interest.

When I stumble along this journey, you are there to remind me that falling down is part of the process. You remind me that every time I stumble I am becoming stronger and able to take on more next time.

You continue to guide me toward success and a bright, shiny future.. Thank you my friend.

 

Note: This post was originally written on October 15, 2013 as a note to a mentor that I had just met. She has guided and encouraged me along this path called life. Today, its re-written to you - friends/mentors come in many forms, sometimes they are here for a day, a week or a lifetime.
