Random...

Forgiveness and making peace with someone who harmed you doesn't mean it's over.  It in fact lingers forever because it changed the course of your life...in profound ways...and you may be left wondering who you would have been if you were kept safe and sound and whole...but you keep it inside and watch others put that person on a pedestal and glorify them while you are always just outside the circle.  And all you really want is validation and for a small time to just forget because you know acceptance is too much to ask for...and you know that because you were totally left out of the book...like you never existed...in that.....family.  And it's heavy...to be erased...

...and then you rejoice...because the smiles you see all day fill you back up...and through the pain...you learn and you celebrate the ones who are patient and loyal and solid...

You won't ever be erased from my book! I can't get rid of those chapters. Every place where you exist is a place I want to remember..no matter what goes with it. Without you, my childhood is only half there. Especially the times when you decided to share a seat with me:) I remember it well. I think, in our little minds, we knew we could could count on each other and we needed that. I hope I can always be that for you.
