Hiya, sweetie.

First things first. I am sorry for the lack of reaching out to you and the other one (LOL). Really and truly. It is and never was, for lack of thinking of or wanting to connect. Please know that.

I pray you are right about my son. I want so much for him. Mostly though, I just want him to be ok. To have a rich life filled with love and experiences and happiness.

As for me, I am not afraid of this friendship, this connection because it is based on truth and honesty and acceptance. I do not know where this will lead. It really doesnt matter.

What matters is that I am true to myself. I am open and honest and me. There is no work to this. I do not fear the future of it. I am enjoying it for today, and every day. And no matter what happens, I have been blessed with a friend and I have found out that I am worthy.

I truly believe that everyone enters your life for a reason. Some are meant to stay in it, some not. But if we listen closely, and open our hearts, we are forever changed.

We do need to make plans. And have some big, fat, loud bellylaughs.

I could use some of that.

Love you, my friend. Always.
