I love you all. And it bothers me when I know any one of you are upset at something, someone, rather like a stone in the shoe that pricks constantly at the sole.
It provokes me when I see your anxiousness and your silences, when I see the mask fall over your eyes and everything you say is rather clipped, hidden. There is a pretense at being okay. There is forced laughter. And I would know, because I do it too.
Yet amidst all of this, I can only hope. Hope that you can let go of whatever it is that is causing you this pain. I hope that you will remember love, forgiveness, endurance. Pray for the grace to love, and remember that the wounds of a friend are a thousand times better than the kisses of an enemy. Remember that a true friend is worth more than their weight in gold.
I shall stop here. Strive to be one another's keeper. :)
Love from me.
