hey family,

thank you for all your love, compassion, patience.

we’re all still here.  that’s something, like a miracle.

I’m sorry for taking you for granted sometimes. trodding on your valuables sometimes.  not keeping my word to you sometimes.

to state the obvious: I don’t have this thing figured out.

asking for your help.  prayers.  instruction.  mostly just not giving up on me.

I want to grow up in love, to do what’s right, to find the way, to love you.

I know for sure I will turn out okay, and so will you.  

just want to be someone you can allow to do it with you.

grateful for my life.  and how you’ve filled it.

I’m here.
