Thank you for coming to me when I’ve hurt you so that I can make amends.
Thank you for hugs, and Kleenex, and open invitations.
Thank you for all your cumulative years of wisdom that guide and level me.
Thank you for accepting me as I am, sane or crazy, smooth or rocky, gentle or snarky, and loving me anyway.
Thank you for a depth of kindness that touches me so deeply I can’t help but weep.
Thank you for reminding me of all the beauty around and within us.
Thank you for giving of yourself to save me from myself, and reminding me that It’s All Good.
