I miss you still. My heart is with you at Christmas time...although I know yours is elsewhere. I hope you have a wonderful new year and I pray that you and your family are well everyday. I hope that you think of me too at times and that it makes you happy to have known me.
Even though I miss you, I feel happy this Christmas because I have so many wonderful people in my life that love me, and I can really feel it this year. Yes, work has been more stressful than ever, but I have an amazing team that not only works under me in my store, but expands throughout all the stores in Jacksonville. I'm so blessed to have such amazing kids in my life, and it reassures me that everything really is going to be okay. If what I'm doing is bringing joy to the lives of others, even though I'm not curing cancer or feeding the poor, I feel as if I am giving back to the world in a small way.
Ya...I miss the intimacy of being in love. I miss being held and taken care of. I miss being treated like a princess...like something delicate.
But I don't have to feel alone anymore. I am loved and looked up to...and I would do anything for any one of the wonderful people that work for me. They have given me myself back...taught me that I can survive on my own. I am enough. To them, I've always been just Lauren. And they accept me just the way I am.
