Today I am thinking about children who have had to beg their parents to love them. And they know no other way of life because this has been their way of life since they were born.
And I am thinking about beautiful things people have said. And I am thinking about you.
How I bring you thoughts that I would be to embarrassed to share with anyone else and I know that you listen and they are safe with you.
To me, that is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Especially when you've been let down so many times, as we have, there is something precious and valuable about trust. That you can open your heart to a person and share all the beautiful, delicate, fragile things you've been keeping to yourself to protect them. And you don't only get a chance to share them but to celebrate them as well.
All those things would have never seen the light of day had you not met the person you could trust them with.
They would of been kept secret in your head until they got buried under layers of disappointment and you forgot about them and lost that little special part of you. I think that's part of the reason people lose themselves and give up on life.

You just know that your name is safe in their mouth. " Billy, age 4.
