My hope is you can forgive me and allow me a chance to grow.
I have watched you slip further and further away. You hardly ever smile anymore. I miss my happy, upbeat friend. Maybe it is time to make some changes.
If I could give you whatever I like for your birthday, I would give you 10 times the joy you have brought to my life.
As you begin the next year of your journey, take time not just to celebrate who you are, but who you have been along the way... and who you hope to become.
