Dear ______,
Thank you. Thank you for reminding me of the beauty of a
life centered on relationships with others.
Thank you for providing me with a renewed perspective that there are many
like you working, fighting, and living to create positive change within
themselves, their families, communities, and this nation. Thank you for embracing me into your
culture. Thank you for your openness and
willingness to be vulnerable and tell your life stories. Thank you for allowing me to experience your
adventurous outdoors. Thank you for
offering a new outlook on what it means to have tenacity amidst adversity and
remain optimistic. Thank you for sharing
your dreams. You are a person of
strength, honor, and dignity. Despite
the wounds of the past and the corruption of the present, I have faith that
there is room for hope in the future. My
optimism is backed on your
passion,
dedication, and hard work towards change.
I am grateful, and will do my best to never forget what you have taught
me.
God bless you,
Joshua David Essick
