Hero

You're exhausted, I know. You're against the coping mechanisms that have been thrust onto you so suddenly, I know. It's painful, it's irritating, it hurts, and anger evolves constantly. I know. I know all of this. I know you at your best and I know you at your worst. But I ask you to remember that I love you no matter what. You'll have my support always, regardless of external factors, regardless of it you think you wont or don't.

You're strong, and though you may not feel that way right now, I know you will overcome this. You know you can lean on me whenever you need to...I'll be here for you, always. You may feel helpless or suffocated or at a loss as what to do-but I know you'll get there. You always do.

I'm very selective when it comes to choosing friends for myself. They have to make an impression on me and I have to respect and admire them before I even consider allowing myself to become close to them. And you're amazing...don't ever forget that.

You're my hero.
