I hope one day you get to buy all the toys and clothes and things for your house that you’ve ever wanted. I hope you wander barefoot in the summer and play in the yard with your children. I hope you smile at all the little things, like when your daughter brings you a flower and the sound of your son’s laugh. I hope you get a meaningful tattoo. I hope you learn how to do all those little things you’ve been curious about. I hope you set foot in all the places you’ve dreamed of. I hope you always sing loud and clear… always. I hope you never change who you really are… and when people bicker or talk about you, I hope that’s when you push even more to be the real you. I think you should buy a souvenir everywhere you go, so you remember those sweet moments. Stop worrying so much about what is out of your control. I hope you have the guts to tell the truth and speak up when you feel strongly about something. I hope you fall in love with SO many things… let go and FEEL! Forget about your scars – those who truly love you will love them too. Release the sunshine that is inside of you… Friend, live the life you’ve always dreamed of.
