I have not spoken to you for a while.<\/p>\n
I have not heard your smiley voice for a while.<\/p>\n
I have enjoyed reading the text messages you sent me.<\/p>\n
I have enjoyed those lovely photos you sent me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I know that neither the phone calls nor the text messages tell it all.<\/p>\n
I know that the cute pictures you send don’t tell it all.<\/p>\n
I know that there are things too weighty to send by text message.<\/p>\n
I know that there are tears I cannot wipe because you are far away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh, but do know this my dear friend, my little sister.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You are always on my mind.<\/p>\n
You are always in my prayers.<\/p>\n
You are always my precious friend.<\/p>\n
You are always my precious little sister.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s too harsh at times that I know.<\/p>\n
It’s too heavy to bear at times that I know.<\/p>\n
It’s lonely and depressing at times I understand.<\/p>\n
It’s scary and frightening at times I understand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh, but do know my dear little sister, my friend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You are loved.<\/p>\n
You are precious.<\/p>\n
You are stronger than you think.<\/p>\n
You are wiser, gentler than you think.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Don’t give up.<\/p>\n
Don’t give in.<\/p>\n
Don’t break down.<\/p>\n
Don’t burn out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You are not alone. Loving, tender arms are around you daily.<\/p>\n
You are not alone. Lovely lady flowers, little boy’s tiny fingers, and chubby cheeks are encouraging you.<\/p>\n
You are not alone. Your love is by your side daily.<\/p>\n
You are not alone. Look around and see these friendly faces that cheer you on daily.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh, my dear Ronnie, text me, call me. For the silence between speaks volumes.<\/p>\n
