As the days fly by faster, and faster to July 20th, I have found myself reflecting on many different things, not totally sure how to capture my thoughts into words, but then I heard this song this week on GLEE and it captured them perfectly for me.
"It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime
So let me say before we part,
So much of me is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me like a hand print on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend. "
So let me say before we part,
So much of me is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me like a hand print on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend. "
This verse is like my thoughts exactly! My friends are all getting home from missions, getting married, having children and pursuing their own lives. Who knows what will happen when I am on my mission. They will continue to pursue their lives (get married, move away to school, etc) and some of them I may never see again. As I was thinking about that the other day I knew I needed to let them know how much they mean to me! How much they have changed my life for the better, and how much I appreciate their friendship now and forever. Even if I never see them again. I know a lot of the people I care about may never read this, and I plan to tell each person how much they mean to me personally, but nonetheless, I must tell you all how I feel :)
To all my friends, loved ones, young women leaders, co-workers, classmates, any and all others that I have come to know and love... THANK YOU!!! Because of you, I am the woman I am today! Each and everyone of you has left a hand print on my heart! You have influenced me more than I can ever express! The example you are to me will forever be with me. Your love, friendship, and support has gotten me to where I am today. I have definitely been changed for good. Like the song says people come into our lives for a reason. To teach us something, to help us grow, and then we help them in return. I don't know how much I have helped all of you in return, but for the things that you have taught me, and for the growing you have helped me do, I am forever grateful. I cannot even imagine the person I would be if it were not for meeting all the amazing people that I have! So once again THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart! I am forever changed for the better because I knew you!
And "just to clear the air," I want to say I AM SORRY to all those of you, whom I may have hurt and any point in time. Whether it were words or actions I am truly sorry! I have grown a lot for situations good and bad. So I apologize for any harm, hurt or damage I have done through out the years. I am not perfect and I hope that someday I will be able to obtain your forgiveness. As I am taking the next step in life, it makes me sad to think about the people I have hurt, and hope that one day I will have made up for all the bad I have done, with good. I hope to one day help others change for the better.
As we continue on our own journeys through life, I hope that I meet up with you again. That in two months it won't be goodbye, but see ya later. But just in case it is, I want you to know how grateful I am to you all. That you will know that you have forever touched the life of Brianna Brough. Once again Thank you to every person I have met. Whether we have dated, are or have been friends, have worked together, laughed together, cried together, what ever it is THANK YOU! I cannot express properly the effect you have had on me and my life! My life has been forever changed because I knew YOU!
