Noticing the goodness in life and allowing yourself to feel gratitude is healing in and of itself.
Hey Brother, I really liked the photos of the new house. I can't believe you're going to have your own boat dock! It's a beautiful place. Like I told you the other night, now the waiting begins. It always seems like it's taking forever to close on a property, and there's always one more piece of ...
My Dear Mamma, I love you so much you are my universe. You are my best friend ever. I feel lucky and proud to have you in my life. You gave me strength to face the struggles. You taught me to get up from the failures instead of scolding me. Whatever things I asked, you did not hesitate and bought...
Dear L, I remember the first time I saw you. Our eyes met and I could see the universe in your big clear blue I could tell that you operated on a higher frequency. There was no judgment in your eyes. You were warm and muting. We got to know each other pretty well every day for a month straight. I...
Dear Love of My Life, A blessing in disguise is what quarantine has done for us. In our busy schedule the Earth has given us rest and made us look at each other and recollect our first moments of meeting. Though outside it is chaos and filled with chaotic tensions of what our future holds, I am r...
Dear mom, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you for the sacrifices you made for your family. You were the best mom ever to all of your kids and a wonderful wife to dad. You worked so hard your entire life and I don't know how you managed to always have time to listen to your children and...
Hi Mom, You are the best mom and my best friend in this whole world. Your shoulder is the most comfortable shoulder to lye upon. I just want to let know you mean the world to me. You taught me how to be open-minded and never judge people by their outer appearance. You taught me a lot of things an...
Dear Sweetheart, who would have ever believed that we would be in the situation we're in now? If you'd have asked me six months ago I would have told you that you were crazy. When this started, I had no idea it would turn out like this! I feel that we are very blessed during this time since we ca...
To my dear friend and former professor, It's been over 4 years since I've seen you, and I've often thought about the impression you placed upon me. I've never been so vulnerable with anyone about my race, and pacify any walls I may have, especially concerning fears of being too arrogant, privile...
Dear Love of My Life, Can you believe that we've been together for almost ten years? It feels like yesterday when we met in the instant message chat room. At first, I thought you were a big jerk for making fun of my friends, yet I'm glad I decided to give you a chance. You turned out to be the sw...
To the Mother I Never Knew, How do you say hello, to someone that you can’t remember, but who gave you such an amazing life? I wonder about you often. Do you think about me? All I know about you, is that you were young, when you brought me into this world. I imagine that you were afraid, that...
Dear Mom, As I write this letter to you I have reached the age that you were when you passed. I hope you somehow know that I am writing this. I have reflected long and hard on trying to understand you leaving me and my sisters at such a young time in our lives. I now have a better perspective...
Dear wife, Today I woke up and all I could think of was you. I miss you when you are not here. My favorite days are the once we can wake up together. I love the days when we have time to drink coffee and talk. I love you for so many reasons. You are always there when I need you. Always a phon...
Mom, You are the best any boy could ask for, you love and care for me even when I'm sick but best of all you are helpful when you're sick. - I'm sorry I don't remember the young times we had together but watching those videos not only brought tears to you but me as well. I miss the Mother & So...
Dear Dad, I Love You. I know writing a letter in this day and seems a little too old fashioned but sometimes, penning down words seems easier than standing in front of you and telling you how much you mean to me. It's because of you that today, I can call myself a strong and independent woman...
Dear Mom, Words cannot express the gratefulness and appreciation I feel for you, neither can they define the thanks that I would love to give you for everything you have done for me. You have always been there for me, through right and wrong, and have shown me the way you have always pushed me...
To a woman I hurt, It's been over 4 years since we last spoke. We ended our relationship with "forgiveness", but I still think about it all the time. I don't feel like you truly forgave me, nor do I feel that you ever fully understood the reasons I acted how I did. I'm not even sure I remember an...
