It was your subtle smile and wit that got my attention. Your determination and integrity that grasped my curiosity and made me want you. But there were two distinct qualities you possessed that made me realize how much I needed you. The first is your carefree personality. You don’t hide your true self from others in fear of damaging your reputation. That is the last thing on your mind. Your fun and free spirit cares less about social norms and how others see you and cares more about enjoying what’s around you. You don’t change who you are just because of whom is around you. The other is your ability to forgive and not let situations change your overall love and care for loved ones. Some have disappointed you and some relationships appear more one-sided but regardless you still try to be there for others. You want to be there anyway you can and you genuinely want to make sure your loved ones are okay regardless of what you are going through. Yea you want to throw in the towel at times but you quickly remind yourself of your duty to them.
It was those two things that filled those hollow parts of my heart and they are the things that showed me how God was moving through you. You helped me understand the difference between being responsible for someone and having a responsibility to someone. I honestly thought after all these years there wouldn’t be much you could do to surprise me now but I was wrong. After almost 7 years, and witnessing your journey of pain, happiness, confusion and understanding, I have seen the greater meaning of life through your eyes. When you brought me to the house of God and showed His love to me so effortlessly, I wanted to build my own relationship with Him. I thank the Lord above for you being in my life. Calling you my love, bestfriend, spiritual partner, and teammate, while being able to share these experiences with you, is one of the most beautiful gifts I could ever receive from God.
