i have this friend.
she is somewhere far away from her children.
far away from her parents.
far away from her home.
she is there by no choice of her own.
and it is not fair.
she is there because she is committed to love.
she is there because she will never give up on life.
she is there because she is brave.
she sits helpless and serves as an unbelievable presence and support.
she has to be a real grown up way before anyone should ever have to.
she doesn't know this, but she is my inspiration.
and really, she was even before this big dumb happening.
she is braver than i will ever be.
she is more beautiful than she will ever know.
she is the greatest momma i know, even despite distance.
she is changing his life and mine with her courage in this battle.
she is never far from my mind.
she is never out of my prayers.
she is underestimated as a fighter in this battle.
she is making my days mean more with her struggle.
she is teaching me what is, and is not, important.
she is inspiring me to be a better wife.
she is giving me the pleasure of being a part of her life every day.
take a minute to listen to this. i swear i could've have written this for you word for word, all by myself, but that sleaze john mayer beat me to it. shoot. :-)
i love you.
to: you
from: me
