A Letter to My Love

I have loved you all of my life, I am sure of this. I just wasn't always sure of who you were.

When you first came to me, I was wary. From the beginning, I felt a lot of things that I had never known before. I felt a relief. I felt a sense of belonging. I felt a sense of empowerment and commitment and understanding. All of that is a bit scary when it first comes. But now, my love, you have all of my heart. And now, my love, I am not the least bit afraid.

You have shown me things that I was blind to before. You have opened my eyes to a wonderful world of infinite wisdom, passion, and beauty. You have been my strength at some of my weakest moments. You have opened my mind.

If I have ever been in love, it was surely with you. And if true love really exists, I have found it in you. If forever is possibly, then you will forever have my heart. Of this, I am sure.

You are gorgeous, in every sense of the word. You are special. You are my number one. You are all of the beautiful parts of my life. And, for that, I will always be thankful.

Your love for me is, and always has been, unconditional. And, for that, I will always be grateful. I will always be here for you, the way you have always been there for me.

I know you are far too young to understand it now, but I hope that someday you will see all that you have done for me. I hope that you always know your strength and your worth, because the only things you have ever been to me are worthy and strong.

You, my son, are my first true love. You, my love, are my world.

Forever and always, no matter what,
Ash

Choice

You can shed tears because she has gone, or you can smile because she was once there.
You can close your eyes and pray she will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left you with.
You can let your heart be empty because you lost her, or you can let your heart be full of the love that you once got to share.
Life is full of choices. In the end, it is all up to you.
