I read a quote that said, "Don't come to my funeral to show me how much you care about me, show me how much you care about me while I'm alive."
Have I told you all how much I care about you? I'm not here often to respond to blogs. But I read.....oh, how I read. I read about your triumphs, I read about your dreams, I read about your hopes and miracles. You inspire me, you melt my heart, you amaze me with your strengths and courage. I wanted to let you know I read your words.
I celebrate your milestones. Sometimes it's a cupcake with my Jake. Sometimes it's a dance with my Jay. Sometimes I pay it forward in other ways. But I wanted to let you know I celebrate your milestones.
I cry when you're hurting. I cheer for you when you overcome. Because you have inspired me. Because you have supported me. Because you matter more than you'll ever know. I admire you.
I needed to let you know this tonight. I want you to go to sleep tonight knowing that you have made a difference. Knowing that someone cares. Knowing that if you ever really needed to reach out, someone would be here for you.
You most likely have tons of people who care. You most likely don't need to hear this. You probably have the confidence, the heart, to know that you are important and that you matter. But I needed to say it. I needed you to know.....all of you....that you bring out the best in me in ways you don't get to see.
So thank you. Thank you to those who are so very visible here. And thank you to those who are maybe not so vocal but still here trying to do the best you can with what you've got. And thank you to those who lurk and read and go through life doing amazing remarkable things without pomp and circumstance....just because that's how you do things. I am so very grateful to all of you! Sheri
