Dear D,
Sometimes people come into our lives
by choice or not by choice. Sometimes we’re
a forced into a relationship that we learn to value or discredit. Even learn to live with or push aside and
forget about. Unfortunately, our
relationship is not what I would like for either of us. However, that is not to say that I haven’t
gain a multitude of life lessons from you and for that I can say thank
you.
You have shown me that the love of a
son and his mother is a bond that is immeasurable. The way they follow you around and look with
deep admiration is something that I truly hope will also happen in my relationship
with my own children as adults. The ability
to be a leader as the only woman in a home of men is something I admire.
The home you have created can only be described
as beyond beautiful. But, despite all
the lovely home furnishings it is the people inside that make it what it is. You and your FAMILY have created the homey feeling
and comfortable place it is to put your feet up and snuggle in a blanket.
Last, and probably the best lesson I
have learned from you is how much food you need to make for a family of 6. And the importance of a huge refrigerator! As funny as that sounds or even trivial, it
is not. As my own children have started
to grow I look back at memories and use the meals we had with you as a guide to
how much to cook. Life is funny that way,
which we can take from others in ways that you may not even notice. Again I say thank you for the ways you have
helped me even when it may not have been intentionally done.
I wish life could be different and
choices made differently, but what has happened and we all have moved on with
our lives. And though I know you
probably will never read this, in my heart of hearts I do wish you wanted to be
a part of my life and those of my family.
My wishes and thoughts of you are never far away and I wish you all the
best in life.
