I ask you about the small things because I want you to be a part of my life, even from far away. Every day I want to make the decision you would make if you were here to guide me. Every day I want to honor you with my choices. I know I don't always do that, that sometimes my own stubborn wants get in the way, but I try. I didn't know I could ever feel this way about anyone. I hate it because sometimes it feels nearly impossible, but then I love it because I realize that it's what I want more than anything. What we do is almost as important to me as my own goals of self-awareness and personal growth, largely because what we do compliments those goals. I am so glad I met you. I am so glad we connected like this. I am so blessed to have you in my life, every day, near or far; it doesn't matter. You're there. That's all that matters.
