Unspoken Words

Inspiration from These Little Moments…unspoken words, or, something
for everyone…

…I honestly love you.  You’re my sister and you mean well, but you
drive me crazy.  The psycho calling, the incessant complaining about
your sex life and your teenage daughter, and the inevitable “what’s
wrong with you?” when I don’t sound cheerful and happy.  Sometimes I
just want to turn my phone off and ignore you for a few days.

…I miss you so much that sometimes its hard for me to breathe.
You’ve been gone for nearly three years now — how time flies.  Things
haven’t been the same since you died.  Not Thanksgiving.  Not
Christmas.  Nothing.  It’s not the same and I don’t enjoy the holidays
anymore.  I wish you were still here, Daddy.

…Thank you for making me laugh.  You really are my rock.  You’re
understanding and patient with me, and Lord knows I need that.  I’m so
in love with you and I can’t wait to start the rest of my life with you.

…It’s hard to be your friend sometimes.  Your head is so far up your
boyfriends butt that I feel as though we’re only friends over the
phone.  I haven’t seen you in more than a month.  We’ve
been friends for a long time, but I wish you’d pull yourself away from
your selfish boyfriend and have a life of your own.  I’d like to see you more.

 …I’m glad that we reconciled.  Truth be told, I was really unhappy
when we weren’t speaking.  I was angry, yes, but sad too.  We have fun
together and you make me laugh.  Thanks for extending the olive branch
first, when I was too stubborn to do so.

…You are my best friend in the entire world.  Really.  Even when you
don’t call me back because you don’t feel like talking to anyone.  I
know that I can tell you anything and you won’t judge me.  More often
than not, you’ll even be able to relate.  You’re hilarious and I need
a dose of that every so often.  Thank you for being the best friend a
girl could have.

…I’m sorry that I never really got to know you.  I was too little to
understand or appreciate what having you around meant.  But I want you
to know that I think about you every day, Mom.  You’ve been gone for a
long time, but not long enough to ever make me forget about you.
Thank you for all you sacrificed to raise me.

…You have been a tremendous source of inspiration to me for a long
time.  You encourage me; you are honest with me.  You support me.  You
make me laugh.  You tell me that you miss me, and it’s usually when I
need to hear it the most.  I’m so glad we’re friends.  And I’m so glad
that no matter how long it’s been since we’ve seen each other, it’s
never weird. 

…You are the best purchase I’ve ever made in my life.  You are the
first dog I’ve ever had that was truly “mine.”  No matter how I
feel when I come home at the end of the day, seeing your little
smiling face and feeling you jump around my feet just erases my
worries.  You are truly a 6 pound bundle of joy.
