Thank you for taking the time, even when you are beat. You are a great friend.
I will continue to read and learn. I will continue to change my behavior for the better and learn from behavior that works and from behavior that doesn't. I am a work in progress and I cannot think of a project that needs more work than me. The wonderful thing about me is that I am a willing student and understand that I am NOT perfect.
I will talk less, validate when she does open up to faciliate a growing feeling of safety with me, be accepting not judgemental and condescending, be patient, be kind, be loving, be understand and compassionate. A tall order, yes. But I am up to the task.
