((((((((((( dps )))))))))))))

My friend, I hear you. I'm trying hard to understand you. I know that I fail in doing that sometimes, but I do try. I try because I "want" to try, not because I "have" to try. It is my choice, having you as a dear friend is "my" choice. You are NOT a burden to me or anyone here at PC.

What you have to say is important, very important. I want to hear what you have to say whether or not you think it makes sense. It doesn't matter if it makes sense right now, getting it out is what matters most. Understanding usually comes later.

I don't want you to disappear. You are near and dear to my heart and I care about you. You are a phenomenal woman. I feel blessed to have you in my life. Don't forget, we get what we need in life and we needed each other. There is no doubt about that in my mind and heart.

My heart aches for you and what you are going through. I want to walk that path with you. I don't have to do that, but I WANT to do that. Do you understand the difference?

You are my chosen sister and best friend. I don't walk away from those I love and care about. I am still here and will continue to be here. Just know that I love you and that there is nothing you can't do to walk your journey and you are not alone.
