I remember the day I first met you like it was yesterday. I could have known you for a week, a month, or years and it still wouldn’t have made a difference. You still would have changed my life completely. You changed my life in the best way possible. I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am to have met such an amazing person, someone so caring, compassionate and loving. You may or may not know it, but I am a better person today because of you.
It didn’t take me long to realize that you were going to change my life. You brought out the sides of me that I never knew existed. You were always there to lift me up when I felt defeated. You showed me what it was like to find happiness in every second of every day. You showed me that I wasn’t just beautiful on the inside, but on the outside, too, which I found hard to believe some days. You reminded me every chance you got so I would never forget that I had someone rooting for me.
You truly made me want to be a better person. You made me want to radiate joy, be generous, be selfless and countless other things. You made me want to be like you because, in my eyes, you were, and still are, the perfect role model. You made me realize the true meaning to life and how we should approach every day that we are given. You made me realize so many things about life that I would never have discovered without your guidance.
You helped me when I didn’t know who to turn to. You never turned me away and always had the best listening ears. You may not have always known what to say, but your presence made everything better. You knew how to heal a hurting heart. Thank you for being someone I could go to if I ever needed someone.
As for you, you deserve the world because you changed my life and the lives of so many others. I can only hope that I touched your life even half in the way you touched mine. I have yet to meet someone else who has impacted my life like you have. Maybe there is a reason for that. Maybe you are the person who is supposed to teach me. As life continues, I will always remember the impact you left on me. I will forever be grateful to you and will never be able to thank you enough for impacting my life the way you did.
I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t met you and I am a better person for that.
Thank you.
With much love,
Me
