Cherish the days. Brace yourself.
It gets more and more awesome ... but then it gets harder too.
With every ounce of laugh, you must understand that it reciprocates the tears too.

Please be strong. Hate will be a constant thing.
The bad will be inevitable ...

But we will be okay.
Always.
As long as we stay sane by being insane. As long as we continuously learn how to shrug things off ...
We will be A-okay.

I'm sorry we're not going to be the things that we wanted to be
I'm sorry that you have to hear mom say those things
I'm sorry that you have to find out tons of crap which will test every single thing That you thought you knew ...

I'm sorry that we will never learn how to talk back,

And you must never talk back.
We did one time ... mom almost cried. It wasn't worth seeing.
So no matter how hard it gets ... never talk back.

We will be okay.
I'll get back to you once you're 16.
