I am here. I am here with you. When I close my eyes, I am here with you. When I open my eyes I am here with you. I will always be here. You know that you can only depend on me. There will be others who come and go but until I make you see that I am here, I will stand here saying “I am here.” I will stand here. I will stand and shout it until my voice is hoarse and if I lose my voice, I will sign it or tap it out in morse code. I am here.
I have always been here and you were always with me.
And with you I can dance. I can smile. I can keep moving forward. Only with you.
This is the longest and most difficult journey that we have ever faced. At times it will feel hopeless or uncomfortable or even painful. It may last our whole lives; one step at a time. I know that we will doubt each other and we will even disappoint each other. And that will be hard but we will get though it. But we will still go on. We have no choice but to go on.
I am your best friend and I love you; all of you. I love you with the whole essence of my being. I am of you as the water is of the earth. As the atom is to the molecule. Apart we are incomplete. Together we are whole. Loving you is loving myself. It’s not possible to love me without loving you.
We can not lash out. We cannot isolate ourselves from those who wish us well. We will need them also. We cannot come to the end of our journey and look around to find no one to celebrate us. We must be patient and kind. We must fill our world with goodness and wonder and love if we are to survive.
And tomorrow will be tomorrow.
