If I Had One Wish, I`d Wish For You To Be Happy

Jun 21, 2010

I’m generally content with the lifestyle I live. Sure, I’d love to have more money but honestly who wouldn’t? I don’t complain about my life because considering how portions of my life have been, I’m grateful and thankful for just how far I’ve come.

Yet, today of all days is a day when I wish beyond all reason that I was rich and could buy a plane ticket out to Texas without blinking an eye. Today of all days is the day when I wish I could fly so I could bring comfort to a friend who is in so much pain with no one to physically turn to.

Yes, I can be there for her through words and speech, but if that were really enough, I wouldn’t be dreading Robby leaving in two weeks to fly out to Philly. If that were enough, you wouldn’t have children crying for a parent who’s overseas because of what’s going on in Iraq and if that were enough, I wouldn’t have a friend who constantly puts on a brave face when inside she’s dying.

I love you Jenn and I wish beyond anything in this world that I could make you happy and take away your pain. I wish that I could feel what you feel in your stead so just once you can smile and really mean it. You are such an amazing person and it breaks my heart that you have to pretend to be happy when deep down you’re crying and there’s no one who’s willing to listen or hear you (at least not the ones who count anyway).

Well, I do hear you and while I can’t do much, I will do whatever I can to try and alleviate some of that pain. I can’t promise much either, but I can promise you that what you feel is what I feel—even if there are miles between us, so you’re never truly alone.

I love you, sweetie.
