You may at times feel
Broken,
Lost,
Inadequate,
Incompetent,
Ugly,
Stupid,
Insigni­ficant,
Invisible,
Helpless,
Hopeless,
Etc...,
During the unexpected detours
In your life,
Just as I have felt
In mine,
Just as many sometimes feel
In theirs.

However, Take heart,
My dear Emma!
Please always remember that:

You will always have
A hand to hold,
A shoulder to cry on,
A pair of arms to hug you,
A pair of ears to listen to you,
A mind to try to understand you,
And most of all,
A heart to empathize with you,
As you trudge though those
Unbeaten and challenging paths
In your life!

This, I promise you.
You can always count on me!
From now on, you will never travel alone.
We will always travel together,
At least in spirit.
