A letter to R.....

Hey all.
Not a very cheery post tonight cos I'm not exactly feeling like partying.

I just wanted to say a few words to a certain friend who I have recently found out is unwell. Even though I know she probably won't see it cos she probably doesn't read blogs.

Dear R

I know that I don't see you often. I wish I did. But I have always felt that we have a huge connection. One I can't explain. Ever since that new years eve at J's place, sitting out on the grass just talking. Ever since that night you have been my hero, and such a huge inspiration to me.

After all that you had been through up til that night, and you sat there laughing and having a ball. We talked and talked. You amazed me. Sitting there with your scarf on your head, you told me all about what you were going through. Yet you were so positive. You put me to shame thats for sure.

You got well, you fought it, and won. OMG how amazing! Beating that while raising your beautiful son. How bloody strong are you!!!!! Such strength.

Now, theres another fight ahead of you. One I wish that you didn't have to deal with. You don't deserve it. You are too good a person.

The sadness I feel, and the confusion as to why this is happening to you is just enormous. And I wish so much that there was something I could do to make it better.

And with everything that is in front of you, I just know that you will approach it with your "Stuff that shit...its not stopping me!!" attitude and still live. You will fight! I know you will.

I could never say how I feel to you, I'm too shy. But please know. You ARE my hero. You have been since the day I met you. You inspire me to be a better, stronger and more positive person. And you have held a special place in my heart since that first meeting, and I know that you always will.

Fight mate, the way I know you can.

Love you heaps R.
