An Open Letter

Dearest Michelle,
I know you heart aches often with the loss of your father. Please believe that you gave so much to him in his final days and always. You may feel in hindsight that you could have offered him more in terms of helping him deal with his transition from health to peace, but in reality you were in the role of daughter, and all he really needed at that time was love and presence. Your love was as unconditional as ever for you father. Just as spring brings new growth, and fall brings new color and dancing leaves, you father will always be with you.
The word amazing can never be used too often in your honor. You bring light, laughter, and a feeling of acceptance to those around you. I know of no others who have brought complete strangers to tears and full disclosure, or with a simple letter have had thieves make a full return of stolen goods. I encourage you to continue dancing with others. You have brought an amazing little boy into this world who is going to do great things with his life. You have a strong circle of family and friends who cherish you. Please be assured that any wounds will be shallow and heal quickly.
Also know that if this makes no sense it’s because I’m supervising a 2yr old out of the corner of my eye : P
Love
Tracey
