For my Friend.

I know you are going through something kind of tough right now. When it first hit you, you probably felt a little like  this:

Now everything is sinking in, things seem different, and you don't know what to expect. You kind of want to wallow in despair and appreciate the feeling of grief right now.

After a while you might get in a weird mood where anger seems to be the better option.

And that's okay, just don't hurt Santa too bad, he still has work to do. (I'd really Like the presents I asked for this year!)

Life has it's challenges and hardships (I'm sure you know that). Everyday it feels really hard, but you just keep pulling yourself up.

 

Maybe if you get out and take your mind off things you'll feel better. Try and do a little of this:

And even if you start feeling down keep going. Eventually, you will hit a point where you look a little like this:

 

And that's okay too, because everyone needs to fall over on public transit at least once in their lives. It teaches us some tolerance for our own tendencies to be stupid sometimes.

Now, your friends will keep poking you, and you'll snap at us probably, but we'll keep poking because we care.

Try not to punch us like Santa though because we mean well.

I'm sure at some point (and hopefully soon) You'll jump right back on your two feet and surprise us all.

And all of us will be really happy to see that. Friend surprises are of course the best kind of surprise, at least I think they are.

Anyway, I'm just saying hang in there sunshine, and it won't be long before you're back to your old self again.

And once you feel like your old self again give us all a call so we can jump on the short bus and lick the windows together!
