My hope is you can forgive me and allow me a chance to grow.
Never discourage
Always encourage
We haven't spoken in a while and I called... only to hear you are recovering from surgery. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please touch base when you feel up to it.
I hope your day is filled with all the things that bring you joy and happiness. May your year ahead be full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Instead, just think of it as putting some space between you and your youth.
