Before I go, I wanted to write you a thank you note.
For all the times that you knowingly or unknowingly extended a hand
Kindness is a rare but precious gift
Each time you go the extra mile for someone
You don't know it but it matters
A smile here, a word of encouragement there
That one time you sat with me through the silence
Even a late night voice note can equal a warm hug on a really cold night
You didn't know it then but I had been crying the whole day and was almost on the verge of giving up when the phone chimed
You had called to tell me how your dog threw up on your carpet and ruined your new leather shoes
That little anecdote had made me smile
The other evening when you initiated a conference call 'cause you knew it was Mother's Day and I would be feeling sad
The little things which may seem so inconsequential at the moment make all the difference.
So when I go to bed tonight and think of facing tomorrow, I don't feel so hopeless
Because I know out there, there are people, people like you and me
Maybe tomorrow won't be so bad
Maybe not tomorrow but the day after tomorrow, things will get a little better
And if not, we will be there for each other
After all, people are our anchors
I promise, even if just for tonight, I promise not to let go.
Not yet.
