Acceptance....

Aly is gone.
She is suffering no more.
Her hurt is all gone.
She is no longer in fear.
She is now without pain.

"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."

I get it now.
I can be in peace.
I will never be peaceful.
But I now know you are.

How long will it be before the guilt melts away?
How much time will it be until your memory in my mind fades?
How long until you come back to us?
Never.
The answer to all above is never.

Thank you for making me smile.
Thank you for making me laugh until I peed my pants.
Thank you for helping me through my first truly scary movie.
Thank you for being my only friend in French Class.
Thank you for teaching me that gummy frogs are not just for eating.
Thank you for teaching me that life doesn't have to be so serious.
Thank you for teaching me that two kids from different sides of the tracks can become so close.
Thank you for too many memories to write down.
Thank you for accepting me.
Thank you for being my friend.
Thank you, Aly.
I love you.

And always will....
