With a heavy heart, alone to wallow in a pit of sadness, lost with nowhere but to go but home, like an angel of mercy you came to my rescue, your question of availability was the welcome home from the family to the battle weary soldier. Little did you know of the torment I have been facing yet somehow you knew, knew to reach out, take a chance, so happy that you did, as that pit of sorrow I would have remained to this day. Free of judgeful eyes, you listened to my story unfold, having the prospective a new, you saw the problem and the solution. I could not see, as I was blinded by emotion, like a newborn babe, my eyes have been opened. My vision still blurry, direction is set, but the future is uncertain but hopeful. My journey has just begun, long and full of challenges, I now stand armed with the tools that will help me to fight the good fight, to honor thyself and thy future. I know not if you will ever know how much I needed your words, your ear, your friendship, only to say that had you not come to me by the grace of the universe, I know not where I would be now. Lost, alone, and still empty inside, always wondering what is wrong with my soul, why does it cry out in anguish. Scouring the vast knowledge afforded to me by technology, I searched and searched for the answers, theory’s, suggestions, all helpful, but none were the solution I needed. Your gift of clarity and wisdom has not only helped me face each day with a renewed sense of purpose, but also given me a sense of hope and a confidence to know that in the end I will be fine. The road ahead will be filled with twists and turns, potholes to be avoided but thanks to you, my direction is clear, my path is set, all that I have to do now is turn the key.
