“So our friendship started on Thanksgiving and I don’t think I fully completed my Thanksgiving without sharing how thankful I am for you. I am thankful for our friendship. I am thankful for your intelligence. I am thankful for your emotional maturity. I am thankful for all the wisdom that you share. I am thankful for our fun conversations, and for our challenging conversations, where we grow and mature and draw closer to one another in love and tenderness. I am thankful for your beautiful heart that is reflected in the way you express love and on the countenance of your smile and beauty. You are a treasure and my heart is open to you.
”
Her reply
Why did you suddenly say these things to me?
My reply
They were on my heart. I learned years ago after losing friends I loved that it’s important to let people know you love them because we aren’t guaranteed tomorrows.
I realize I had been a fool in not trusting you with my heart and opening it up to you.
