This one is for you

You know who you are. You listen to my rantings. You take my calls. You celebrate with me when I am triumphant. You laugh with me when I am absolutely foolish! You see me in all of my failures and faults...and still support me anyway.

I couldn’t do any of this without your support. I pretend to be independent and self-sufficient. I am none of those things. I am frightened and afraid. I am second-guessing myself, and I am even sabotaging my own success.

You do not “sugar coat” your observations. You ask hard questions. You will not accept generic, “softball” answers. You are not intimidated by my defensive tactics.

I am a mess. I am in way over my head. I handle stress poorly. I am fulfilling a dream and scared to death of it.

You point me to the positive rather than the negative. You talk me off of the ledge.

This is for you. You are my friend. I am indebted.
