Dear Beloved Child,
I say beloved because you are special and lovable exactly as you are. I was thinking about this today when the song, "You are beautiful" by Christine Agullara came on the radio. The words are so breathtaking and inspiring. If you haven't heard it, make a point of finding it and listening to every word.
She says it so much better than I ever could and if you could just believe how true her words are, maybe it well help you to feel strong on those days when you feel lost, or like you don't fit in, or may never be accepted.
Maybe your homelife isn't happy. Perhaps your parents will not accept your truth. Or maybe they support you, but finding that same support in school is not possible right now. I wish, so many of us wish, that we could make everything ok for you right now. But to borrow the words from the movement on YouTube, please know:
IT GETS BETTER
There will come a day when you will be surrounded by people who love you and care that you're happy. If those people are not the family you are born into, they will be the family you choose. Until that time, you must, for your very survival physically and emotionally, dig deep and look for small pockets of happiness where-ever you can find them. A smile from a perfect stranger, encouragement from a teacher, a hug from a friend, the sun streaming through the clouds, the bustle of a city, or the quiet birdsong in the morning-these small things will sustain you until your life is in a place where you can be who you are, love who you wish, present in the manner that makes you happy.
I don't know the realities of your lives, those of you who must remain closeted for your own safety. But I can imagine how hard it must be to just be yourself. Fitting into this world where so much of who we are is judged by how we look is hard for many of us. Your road is not an easy one, and may be considerably longer than mine, but rest assured, many of us will be, at the very least, your occasional travel companions as we struggle to be accepted and loved. And when our paths diverge, I, like so many others, will be thinking of you, wishing you well, hoping for a happier tomorrow for you and loving you for your courage, whether we know you or not. "You are beautiful in every single way....no matter what they say....words can't bring you down." For more hope-please check out: www.itgetsbetter.org

I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can reach them through there website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com
