Sometimes it's hard and sometimes you're going to feel cold inside, but I can promise you one thing, Darling: it will all be worth it in the end. Please keep your head up and live your life the way it's supposed to be lived.  Live it and be grateful.  Live it with kindness and generosity, but most of all, live it replete with love. Love is the foundation of our lives and simply cannot be forgotten.  

Find someone that makes you smile and hold onto them.  Keep your family in your hearts and minds at all times. Respect all around you because you never know what they're going through. Have acquaintances, have friends, and have best friends. Teach them and learn from them. Keep them close and let them in.  Give them the power to hurt you and trust them not to.

Don't shut anyone out.  Don't hurt yourself, and don't make the mistake of thinking no one knows how you feel.  Everyone might not know exactly how you feel all of the time, but I guarantee that someone has felt something similar at one point or another.  Let your heart be big and your happiness replenished. 

Remember me and remember that I will always love you.

But above all, Darling, promise me that you'll live every moment of this beautiful life you have been given.

Always, 

Angie
