Spoken and Unspoken... it's all there.

Writer's Workshop

w/ Kat

List ten things you would say to ten different people in your life...if you had the hutzpah.

10. You were the first man to let me down and the one that never should have. You weren't there the day I walked across the stage. You weren't there the day I left for college. You weren't there when your other children's babies were born. You weren't there when my heart was broken. You weren't there for a lot. I'll never forget that. That being said... I forgive you.

9. You're my hero. I love you so much. You filled our house with love, books, music and laughter... never letting us know we were without. I will live everyday of my life trying to be as good as you are. You amaze me!

8. I'm still upset that I never got to say goodbye. You were so good to me. It's been 15 years since I saw your face and felt your warmth. Not many people knew the you that I did. I still feel lucky for that opportunity. I'm still your girl and I miss you everyday.

7. I love laying in your arms and chit chatting about everything and nothing at all. I blush thinking about the way you look at me while I'm getting ready. I adore your middle of the night whispers, and your morning "Don't go's!". & I'm still thinking about that goodbye kiss yesterday morning ;)

6. I wanted to scream and kick and throw things at you. You ran me right off the road, you jack ass. I hoped it would start raining on you in your stupid mustang with your stupid top down.... AND THEN IT DID. I laughed. KARMA...

5. I'm lucky to have you. We all are. You answered all of our prayers the day you married her. She's the greatest woman in the world... and you know that. It took a long time for someone to see her and appreciate her the way we do... you were worth the wait. I love you so much.

4. You all have been there through it all. Never questioning, even when you had questions. You've listened and cried with me. You've shared and laughed. You've brought me back to who I am time and time again. I'm so, so blessed to have met you all. I'll never turn my back on you. To me, you are forever.

3. Stop growing up... you're killing me! You're all so beautiful and innocent. I love watching you see things for the first time... you remind me to see the beauty in everything, as if I'm seeing it for the first time. That's a gift! I melt when I see your big smiles when I walk into the room. You've gotten me through the very hardest times with your sweet cuddles and kisses. I gush about you all the time. You've made my life. I will always love you. Nothing can take that away.

2. I wish you could figure out what you're doing with your life. You are in a different place than everyone... it's like you're going backwards. I'll always care... but things will never be the same.

1. Mom always says you are the greatest gift she's ever given me. She's right. I know you'll always be there and that we can get through anything with the love we share. My life would have been a lonely one without you. You've shaped me and helped to make me who I am today. I like to think you didn't do such a bad job! I love you so, so much. Thank you for my nieces and nephew.
