Walking With You, Too...

Last night before I went to sleep, I checked emails.  I found this one in my box.  It's from my cousin, Rachel.  It made me cry. Not a bad cry however, a really good cry.

(Don't ask why we call each other FC!!)

I love and appreciate you FC, more than you will EVER know!

Hey FC,

 

I just want to let you know that you took a walk with me today. I was on my way home from class at about 6:45pm and I was walking down the mall at a pretty fast pace--I was COLD (as I always am) and I was in a rush to get home and eat and get to some work before some friends come over tonight. Then, out of nowhere, I thought of you. I slowed my pace drastically, and let myself feel the chilly soft wind flow around me. I uncrossed my arms and breathed in. So THIS is what it's like to just feeeeel the world. I knew you were walking with me because you're the one that taught me how to walk and feel the world, and it felt good. I wasn't even as cold anymore. So I walked slowly down the mall and looked lovingly at my favorite animals in the world--Penn State squirrels--and watched people as they walked by, some with ipods on and some just talking to others with them.

 

I was so grateful to have you with me at the time because you helped me appreciate life--it wasn't the first time you did it, and it won't be the last. But I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated the company, and I hope you walk with me more often.

 

I love you FC!!!!

 

Rachel

 

 

 

At some point, I hope I can walk with each of you...and FC I'll walk with you again any ole time!!!!

 

Much Love xoxoxoxox
