To my Niece

I read your post today and wanted so much to make it right for you. I wanted to be that fly on the wall that is always there to say the right thing and always cheer you up, but the truth is I can't. The one thing that I can offer you is a piece of me. I do feel like you do sometimes. I feel like I do not fit it, I'm not pretty enough, funny enough, or sociable enough. All these I have struggled with, but it is getting better. I am learning to love myself for who I am and not what people think of me.It is something that has taken many years, but isn't everything in life a work in progress.I hope this post helps. You are one of the best things in my life. I celebrate the fact that you are not like other girls. If you were obnoxious I would probably have to kill you:). Keep your head you and remember you have your family if you ever need to talk, not to mention a wonderful mother.

Love you!

aw Ash! I love you!
Thank you, everything you said is definitely how I've been feeling. Your blog did make me feel better because sometimes it just feels like I'm the only one dealing with it. But you should know that you're beautiful and amazing! And just so you know, I've always looked up to ya :) oh, and I'd rather stay alive, so I'll try to not EVER be obnoxious k? I'd probably get on my own nerves anyway.

Thank you, you're the best!
