I was going write about something, and then I stopped for a second and thought about what my bible study has been discussing and my mind wandered to some of the things going on in the life of one of my closest friends. While it has absolutely nothing to do with me, I am constantly reminded about how strong, lets call her, Jamie, is. Jamie has not only brought sunshine into my life, but has encouraged and loved me, while her life has been drug through the mud. I will respect her privacy and omit details, but in her greatest time of need, all Jamie did was be there for me.
I know that Jamie knows that if she needs anything, I will be there. I know that she relies on me to be there physically to talk to and be with. I hope that I can support her with what she is dealing with in the appropriate way. Its on a scope that none of us have had to handle. In a unique way, I love you, Jamie. Whatever happens - I am right here. I got you. But also - Thank you. Thank you for reminding me of how I should be. Thank you for showing me that you can be strong and weak at the same time, and that you can rely on others. Thank you for giving me an example of how to be.
So, while I was going to direct a post toward certain people that have pissed me off, certain people all wrapped up in each other, I'd rather direct a post toward Jamie. Someone that I truly have to be thankful for.
Because I can't tell you directly - I'm telling you here - Thank you, Jamie. And I'm here for you. I got you. You and yours are in my prayers, and in the prayers of so many.
Happy (Early) Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Sarah
