Dear Jordan

Dear Jordan

Today you both ended a friendship
You both mutually agreed to block another

It hurts
Almost 3 years
Endless ups
Very few downs
Laughs
Tears
Smiles
Nudges
Handholding
Kisses
Naps
Calls
Texts
Hikes
Sports
Beaches
Disney
Facetimes

It's not what you both wanted
But what you both have needed
For a long time

I was there for her
She was there for me

You fell in love with her
You loved her sons as your own
You loved her family as your own
You prayed for her siblings

You learned so much from her
You grew so much from her
You smiled so much from her
You loved so much from her

Today hurts
Love hurts

You're allowed to feel sad
You're allowed to feel pain
You're allowed to feel confused
You're allowed to move on

You've been asking everyday
How bad do you want to improve your life?
Where do you want be 5 years from now?

You've made changes
Accepted a new job
Scouted out new apartments
Changed your morning routine
Started running more
Overcome so much in 5 months

You should be proud!

Today you're awaken
The new clock has started
You never look back
The race is long
Take your time
There's no rush
You're allowed to walk
It'll be easy at times
It'll be hard at times
Your fans will be there when you look & ask
Don't forget to drink water and enjoy the moment


Look back on this day as the starting line

You have so much to live for
You have so much support
You have done the best you can
God is with you

So...I'll ask again:
How bad do you want to improve your life?

One more thing...I'm proud of you!
I'm proud of who you've become!
I'm looking forward to who you will become!

You should be proud! Keep going! YOU GOT THIS!
