Letter to Heidi
Dear Heidi, Even though it has been 18 years since you last spoke to me in person, I want you to know that you have been speaking to me so often without even being here. Remember that time I was scared and almost didn't get in the kayak but you coaxed me into the boat and the ride of my life? Or that time I wondered if I wanted to have a child and you reminded me that I'll never get another chance to make this decision? And that time when I wasn't sure if I liked dogs and ended up getting three? Or the time when I hugged a stranger and cried and let my emotions show? Remember that time I felt stupid doing a team building activity and you said to just let go? That day when I had to decide to take the job in IPS teaching the "tough" kids? And every time I run or push myself physically and think about how fortunate it is that I can do this? Or when I dream of heaven and wonder if you will know me and what we will talk about then? I haven't laid eyes on you
