It’s me…Ginny. Remember? I saw you two years ago. I was so broken. I sat with you and asked you for a new heart. You draped your arm across my shoulder and told me you were so sorry for my loss. You sat there patting my shoulder so patiently as I sobbed. You have no idea how much you helped me get through that first Christmas season without Mr. Virgo. I’ll be forever grateful to you.

Last year was difficult as well. Things weren’t working out as I had hoped with my aunt out on the farm and I was scrambling to make other living arrangements. I got through it though. And, I had a really interesting winter living in my camper with no running water and wind chills down to -25°. I found out I’m a whole lot tougher than I thought I was!

I’m much better this year. I still get sad sometimes. I still miss that handsome man who made me feel like a princess. But I don’t cry as much. I don’t hurt quite as bad. And I’m feeling hopeful for a beautiful future. So, this year you don’t really need to bring me anything. I don’t need a thing except experiences with those I love.

Thank you for bringing out my inner child. Thank you for offering me a warm hug when life felt too cruel to breathe. Thank you for being at the right place at the right time. And, again…thank you for being real.

Your forever friend,
Ginny
