Dear Friend, Thank You For Seeing The Good In Me, When I Could Not…

Dear Friend,

Thank you for seeing the good in me, when I could not.

Thank you for reminding me to laugh, when I had forgotten how.

Thank you for the times you spent listening to my worries, my fears, my insecurities.

Thank you, most of all, for never getting weary of all that.

Thank you for being with me when I needed you the most, sometimes in spirit, sometimes literally.

Thank you for never forgetting who the real me was, even though I strayed very far sometimes.

Thank you for enjoying the best times of my life with me.

Thank you also, for showing up during the worst.

Thank you for shining your light into my world when darkness had descended.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all of the above.

Dear Friend, 

Thank you for seeing the good in me, when I could not.

I wish I could have seen myself, through your eyes, a long time ago.

But I do now.
