My dearest Child

My dearest Child:

One of these days I won’t be here. I won’t be able to hold your hand when someone has hurt your feelings, when you need someone to hear your writings or when you just need a hug.

One day my body will leave its fleshy shell and I will be no more. My spirit and my love will forever be with you, but in the midst of life, we forget that we have not been forgotten.

In those times when I am gone and you can’t hear the song of your heart, remember baby, remember, be true to yourself.

Be true to yourself and do what you feel you have to do, with integrity and with pride. Do it so that it gives you satisfaction, do it so you are happy with what you have done.

People have ideas of what they think you should be doing, saying, wearing and even eating; but you have your inner compass and only it leads you to happiness and fulfillment.

Happiness is not a period of time; it is moments that strung together remind you why you get up everyday and why you do what you do.

Each person is its own universe. Not that they are that deep, but that they have their own notions based on their own experiences and there is nothing you can do to change them, they are a result of what they have been through.

Every relationship you have is a reflection of who you are and how you see yourself. Honor the person that brings you that awareness but realize that you also serve the same function in their life. We are mirrors into each other’s soul.

When you fall on your knees, and you will, remember that it does not matter how many times you fall, but how many times you get up. And that in life, it’s about being IN the game, not watching it from the sidelines, but in the thick of things, living the experience to the fullest.

Don’t fool yourself my love, despite it all, I am always with you, you only need to think of me to bring me close to you, to feel my love surrounding you, to know that I have never left you.

Smile child, death is not an end. Nothing has an end, you are never finished. Life is continuous and never ending. Even if you make mistakes, you can fix them, no matter what you do, there is always tomorrow and tomorrow comes full of opportunities and possibilities to create yourself anew. Don’t despair, you cannot see the path unfold before you, but trust me, heart of mine, there is a reason, and there is a way.

The answer to all of your questions is you. You, you, you, always you. It matters not what others do, think or say. They will fall or rise by their own doing. It matters what you do, think or say; you will succeed or not, based on your own steps, your own decisions. Your happiness comes from you, so does your pain and misery.

I love you, never forget it, never doubt it and for even in the darkest moment of your life, you are beautiful, and you are perfect in my eyes. Never will you be any less, never could I love you any less, for I love you with eyes of love and in love everything is perfection. The flaws that you see are not real; the faults you create don’t exist. Be kind to others, but above all, be kind to yourself, love yourself, for the most important relationship you have is with you.

When I am no longer here child, take a look around you, I am in all the things that you love; in the wind that caresses you, in the sun that warms your skin, in the soft rain that falls, in the calls of birds in spring. Don’t forget, I am not gone, look inside, I am always there, I am the whispers of your heart reminding you to smile, I am the subtle rocking that comforts your sorrows away, I am warmth that creeps into your day.

NO matter where my spirit goes, I will always be around, as a cloud in the heavens, as a flame in the dark, from very far or closer than you think, I will always be with you child of my heart, child of my soul, I love you forevermore…
