I haven't been posting much in the past few weeks and I find myself at a loss to explain what's on my mind. Someone I love very much is going through something difficult, something that I can't help her through, and I am at a loss for words.

I just want her to know that I think she is one of the strongest, most beautiful people I have ever met. That I think she was strong for taking the risk, and which ever path she takes next, she will be strong for having taken it.

I'm always here, but I know you know. Just don't forget it, no matter how far into the world, or yourself, you go.

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.
