What have I gotten from you?
Honey……..so many things.
You showed me what it is like to be valued by another human. Just because I was me.
You gave me a purpose. An equal to hang onto in the middle of life’s trials. You showed me what it was like to have someone in MY corner. Everyone should experience what it is like to be loved just because they bring joy to that person.
Sarcasm that doesn’t miss a beat. It is hard to find someone as well read in sarcasm as my biological family. Dare I say, better?
You have taught me how to embrace the parts of me that make me who I am. Be proud of them even. Your self confidence is one that I will always envy.
You make me feel special. When your face lights up when I see you. When you hold my hand. When you ask about parts of my day.
Sure, maybe when you have had all of these things in as major players in your life, they don’t seem like much. To me, honey, they are everything!!!!
