Dear You:

I’m so, so sorry for what you’re going through right now. You are too young to deal with these kind of problems. You shouldn’t have to. You never should have had to deal with these, but you did, and I can’t help but admire you for what you’ve gone through. You are such a sweet, loving individual.

The next weeks will be hard in ways that I can’t imagine, because I’ve never been through what you’re about to go through. But don’t you worry, I’ll be (spiritually, since distance separates me from you) there holding your hand every step of the way. It might not seem like it right now, but you’re going to be okay. You’ll pull through this and become even stronger because of it. I know you, I know what you’re capable of and what you can do. You are by far the strongest person I know, and I can only hope to be like you.

I love you, and I need you to know that. You’re so, so loved. Regardless of who loves you. It could be people down the street, or family, or people like me, who only know you online. But we love you, and we’re here. I’m here. Always here. I’m a phone call away, and if it was possible, I’d be in the car on my way to you.

Stand strong, You. But don’t worry, I’ll be here to catch you if you fall.

Love always,

Me.
