Gratitude.

Hope is something that I have had very little of as of late.  Things in my life have been crashing down around me and my best friend was slipping further and further away from me.  However today I was asked to stop by that friends house to pick something up.  I dropped everything I was doing and made my way over as fast as I could.  I was nervous and scared; I didn't know what to expect.  Then as I pulled up I saw two of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my entire life.  The first being my best friend glowing with a happiness that I hadn't seen in months.  However the most important thing I saw in that moment was hope.  Some people say they are lovers rather than fighters, but dare I say that I am a fighter?  That moment made me believe that if there is something important to you that It should be fought for tooth and nail, through the good times and all the hardships.  I have a good feeling that things can only get better.

It's a bit early but I have found something I am truly thankful for, Hope.  The hope you have given me is the greatest gift I have ever received.

Forever yours,
