A Ch-Angel needs your prayers

I have a dear relative who is feeling, I'd say, a tad bit bitter. He has not had a glamorous life. He had it a little rough as a youngster and has gone through some more-than-trying times as a young adult. He, like his dad, has ALWAYS had his heart in the right place. They are both givers and lovers. This beautiful young man would literally give you the shirt off his back if it would make your day a little better, even though it may be the ONLY shirt he owns. His heart is huge and, although it has been battered and abused a bit, I believe it still has much to do here!

I want to clarify this young soul as a Ch-Angel, this 'little' boy who isn't so little. He has affected so very many lives and most all in a positive way. He has an unrestrained charisma that just oozes out of his very pores. He could talk an eskimo into buying ice and he could charm the pants off of just about anyone! He has more talent in his little finger than most folks realize in a lifetime.

There are a few things I want to make sure he knows:

1. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have not yet been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours!        ~ Ayn Rand

2. You are NOT alone! The island you might have created exists only til you allow a bridge to appear. Do not isolate yourself from what the pain of life is offering you. Yes, that sounds full of lunacy, but the fact of the matter is that you are not the only one who has suffered. You are not the only person who has been hurt. You are not alone in your loss. You are not alone in your questioning of why things happen. You, my sweet, sweet boy, are surrounded by more love than you could ever truly imagine. It is yours for the accepting . . . you need only uncross your arms, cast off your anger, and allow it to wash over you!

You will have to trust again, but there are those worth trusting. You will have to love again, but there are those worth loving. You will have to believe again, but there is MUCH to believe in.

I love you!
