that no matter if the sun ceases to shine, he’s broke and doesn’t have a dime, his dog dies, his career crashes, his health fails, OR his days are sunny, he knows nothing but prosperity, his life is full of laughter, joy, health, and no sadness–I’ve got his back. I am down for him for all time, and to me, he is the greatest.
I hope he knows that even though I know to him I am a sister and a friend that my love for him won’t let me wait and watch him crash and burn. My love for him wants him to have God’s absolute best. My love for him is pure and unselfish, even though and because there is no promise of anything in return. I hope he knows that I value our relationship more than I value some people’s existence.
I hope he knows that I am not trying to get him to “wife me.” I only want him beside me. His thoughtfulness, his sensitivity and attention to detail, the way he never forgets what’s important, his ability to forgive and give, his care, concern–the way he treats his mama, romances his grandmama, values his sisters, bonds with his brothers, respects his father, and even nurtures his dog–that is why I love him. That is why I take pride in just calling him friend. I just hope he knows…
this warmed my lil ole heart
your friend is blessed to have someone like you in his life that loves him so beautifully and honestly. and perhaps even more than that, YOU are blessed to have someone in your life that you love that strongly, purely. that kind of kinship and connection is rare. i could almost feel how deeply you care for him just from your words, so i’m sure it is impossible that he doesn’t know how much you cherish his friendship - you can’t hide that kind of love! but just in case he doesn’t know…tell him, or better yet, show him. sometimes we all need a reminder.
wow, i hope i’ve touched someone’s life in this way, at least a little bit.
