For The Ones Who Matter Most

 

  

Sometimes in our lives we come across people that blindside us with the impact they have on the people we are deep down inside. They can seem to breach every wall we have ever created to keep ourselves safe. They are capable of wrapping us up in their arms even from hundreds of miles away. They give us all the love and devotion that we’ve always longed for. Even across those miles they seem to be able to make us feel so incredibly amazing simply by being there, by including us in their lives and truly seeming to enjoy spending time with us.

   i have been blessed to come across a few different types of these people throughout my life. Lately i’ve come across 2 in particular. Luckily these people have opened their hearts and their lives to me and have decided that i am worth the time and energy it takes to breach those nearly insurmountable walls that surround my being in order to keep me safe through the years.

   i refuse to expose those people here. It’s not the place nor is it anyone’s business just how much they’ve come to mean to me. However, i feel the need to express the way they make me feel.

   To feel such highs and lows. To know such excitement and despair. To smile when i see them. Simply smile. Purely happy to have the opportunity to be in their presence again for however long the time is allowed. To know that i can go to them and know that they will take me into their arms, or offer me a shoulder to cry on, a wall to rage at, a friend to laugh with. Incessant laughing. Excitement untold.

   i swear to you that these people are some of the most phenomenal beings that God ever saw fit to create. i feel well and truly blessed to have come into contact with them and to have had the opportunity to share my life with them. Because you see, they make me better. The me inside. They make me happier and give me a measure of peace the likes of which i have not had in a great while. The road has been a bumpy one in our friendship. And i doubt that it will be smooth sailing from here on out. After all, a course that is too smooth is generally a boring existence for sure. *winks*

   So to these lovely people…you mean the world to me and i am grateful for every moment i get to spend with you. You’ve made my life a happier place simply by being you. Quite simply, thank you. From the bottom of my heart. There is a special place inside of me with your names on them. And i will always and forever adore you.
