I wish you'd see yourself the way I see you. Strong. Determined. Brave. Beautiful. Compassionate. Caring. I wish you had the ability to see how much good I see in you so much potential and so much drive. I wish more than anything that I could make you see how wonderfully made you are and how much good you possess. If only you knew how much my heartaches to hear you talk so negatively about yourself. If only you knew how hard it is to hear you put yourself down and lower your self worth.

I wish I could hug you until you realize just how loved you really are. You mean more to me than you will ever know and more than I could ever explain. I value you in more ways than one and everyday I'm thankful to have you around. Everyday I'm reminded that regardless of how hard or how difficult the situation that the human spirit can persevere. You encourage me daily to use my ashes to rebuild and recreate myself.

I wish you knew how much my heartaches to hear you talk so negatively about yourself. If you only knew how hard it is to hear you constantly put yourself down and lower your self worth. I wish you knew how hard it is to watch you waste your life because you don't think you're good enough or you "know" you'll never amount to anything. I wish I could hug you until you realize just how loved you are. You mean more to me than you will ever know and more than I will ever be able to explain.

I value you in more ways than one and everyday I'm thankful that I get to live life with you. Everyday I'm reminded that out of the hardest and most difficult situations, the human spirit can overcome. You encourage me everyday to use my ashes to rebuild and recreate myself. Everyday I wish that I could only make you see just how incredible of a person you are. I wish that I could show you and make you feel just how loved you are.

Through your experiences, both the good and the bad, you've taught me more about life than anyone I have ever met before. You have taught me that despite our circumstances, our upsets and our successes, we can continue. You have taught me that in the face of absolute desolation and heartbreak, we can pick up the pieces and keep going no matter how impossible it seems. You've taught me that even when everything seems to be going great we need to be proud of what we accomplish. If for one day you could see yourself through my eyes, then you would truly see the incredibly intelligent, beautiful and resilient person you are.

You would see someone who has withstood more pain, stress and anxiety than most, but you would also see someone that gathered her broken pieces and kept going. You would see someone that lives with their scars, but continues to fight on when most would have given up. If I could give you one thing, I would give you my eyes for just one day. Then, you would be able to see the amazing woman I see everyday. You're the highlight of my day and everything I live for I love you.
