A Love Letter To Olivia…
Dear Olivia…
When we first knew each other, we were both broken, struggling with a loss of love in our lives, but it was this loss that brought us together even though we fought it for so long. You saw me Olivia, my heart, my spirit, not only for who I was but also for who I could be. You challenged me, believed in me,supported me and then youloved me.You gave me your heart.
There was a time that I was uncertain, confused, scared to love you, to let myself feel what I felt for you, but that time has long since fade. I truly believe in you, in us, in what we have as a family and most of all in the amazing love that we have for each other. I never thought that I would find happiness again after Gus's death but I was wrong. God brought you into my life, He brought us together and He allowed us to find love for each other…
There are so many paths in life. Some paths you know exactly where you are going and where they will lead you and so you just enjoy the view. Other paths are littered with rocks, undergrowth, and obstacles and the pain in our feet as we walk them serves to remind us of all the things we long for, acceptance, happiness and love. My amazing, strong, passionate Olivia, I will never regret the steps, joyful and agonizing, that I have taken on the path of my life because each of those steps have lead me to a love and a happiness I never knew that I could have, each of those steps have lead me to you…
Love, Natalia
A Love Letter To Natalia…
Dear Natalia,
When I met you we were both hurting. I was so cruel to you but you knew it was because I was afraid, afraid of dying and afraid of living, but you never let me give up. I didn't know what it meant to love, to be loved, I thought I did, but you were the one showed me what real love is supposed to be.
I'd spent my life searching for something, anything to fill my soul; power, money, and men. I didn't care what it was; I just didn't want to feel the emptiness anymore. Your belief in me saved me, it made me want to go on living. You took care of me, made me search beyond the anger and pain that I was feeling to be able to love, to give, to believe in good things again.
You saved my life Natalia, by allowing me to have Gus's heart, but it was you Natalia, your brilliant spirit that cast a light on the shadowy spaces within me. You made me want to live a different life, to be a better person. Your belief in me gave me the courage to open my heart and I never expected thatonce I opened it, you would come inside and fill it with your goodness, your faith, your love. You gave me a love that I thought I could never have…
I Love You,
Olivia
