© Bailey Fitch I promise to carry on your contagious smile. The same one that would light up a room the minute you walked in. I promise to laugh and never take myself to seriously. I promise to love harder and forgive faster. I promise to be content, in every sense of the word. To be thankful for the air in my lungs, and the nineteen years I was blessed to have with you. I promise to try and have as big a heart as you did. To be selfless. To know what I have, and know what I can give to others who are not as fortunate. I promise to grieve that absence of your physical being for only a moment. And then I promise to set you free. I promise to never give up on others, even when I'm ready to give up on myself. I promise to be a friend and a mentor as you were. To be a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on or a set of ears to simply listen... And I can promise you this... I can promise to open my heart to you when I fall in love and when I fall apart. When I become a Mrs. and when I become a mother. I promise to let you hear every giggle and feel every hug. To know every heartache, and let you be there for every triumphant moment... The most important promise I can make, despite all my failures and all my losses. A promise that carries the equivalence of all the rest combined is this... I promise to make you proud. With all that I am, I love you. |
