The one from my dream last night; I saw you standing in my living room and I almost couldn't breathe. When I asked where you had been you remained so calm. As I went to hug you my breath was taken away even more. As I hugged you tightly I cried harder and louder than I ever have before. I missed you so much. The violent tears and emotion brought me right out of my dream. I laid in my bed with the familiar sting of reality of your absence.
The one I thought about as I brushed her hair... You are trying so hard already in this life. I loved watching you interact with your friend last night. Your sensitive spirit shined when you giggled, as you confidently read your school poem to me, and when you showed genuine concern for your friend's feelings. I love that.
The one I thought about as I reread his love texts to me last night.... I feel a deep sense of respect and security in my heart when I overhear your voice through the phone saying to our son, 'I wanted to tell you that I love you, buddy'.
The one I thought about as I began my day... I was brought to my knees in tears this morning thanking God for answering prayers. Your ability to influence so many is not by accident, but a gift from God that will be used far beyond your wildest dreams. You are deeply loved. I respect you so much for the decisions you are making.
The one I thought about as I watched you shut the door and run to class... You are so precious to me. You have a way of encouraging people and making them feel loved. I count you as one of my greatest blessings.
