When they go it is hard to understand why, hard to let them go. But hear this now. Maybe,just maybe, we are a better person for it. Think of the things you have accomplished without them. The things you didn't have the courage to do, the things you did because you said "For _____!". Even the small things you did for that person you saw on the sidewalk because you remembered a loved one, made that person's whole world change.
One day, even you will leave. But when you go, just remember, if you where kind, if you smiled at least once, made someone laugh, cheered someone up, there will be people who miss you and who became better people because of you.
And you know what? Maybe the ones who you thought left you behind, maybe they always knew you'd see them again. And in that case, I suggest you tell them everything you did, because the two of you have a lot of catching up to do.
Thank you for reading, because if just one person liked what I have to say, that is what makes me smile.
This post made me cry and smile at the same time! It made me think of my mom, when you wrote "For ____!"
ReplyDeleteI love how you left it vague, with an open blank for us to fill. That way, everyone will think of something different, and we will all be able to relate to it in our own way.
I'm wondering: who or what did the rest of you think of while reading this? Please leave a comment and let us know...
omg, ahna, I almost cried while reading this... It really (REALLY) touched me..
