What do I want to be…

… when I grow up? I want to be the face of humanity. I want to be a devoted spouse and a caring parent. I want to be a child that my parents can be proud of. I want to be a sibling that is always there when needed. I want to be a friend that other friends can rely on. I want to be a stranger that others feel comfortable with. I want to be the one that makes others laugh in a party.

I want to be like my friend P.N.!

P is a loving wife who loves her husband dearly.
P is a caring mother that all children should be envious for not having.
P is a sibling that despite losing a brother managed to call her friends to see how they were doing.
P is a daughter that stood by her mother’s side every day while she was battling cancer and defeating it.
P is a friend that calls all her friends out of the blue to say hi and offers help with whatever they need.
P is a type of person that you walk by in the street and lock a stare for a second and walk away knowing that she has one of the gentlest souls.
P is a joy to know and be friends with.

P ~ you’re one of a kind and I hope I’ll grow up to be like you!

Thank you for reading,
Armin

  2. Dear Armin - althought I already phoned you to thank you for such a thoughtful piece I keep thinking back to everything you have said and honestly it's an honour to be seen this way but also you've reminded me to be careful and continue striving to be the individual you have described. I am not perfect, nobody is, but one of my fundamentals of life is to be humble, honest and loving towards everyone I know or I meet. Sometimes trusting so much has not been a well reciprocated act, but for the most part of my entire life, I have been granted a lot of happiness, good health, an amazing family and beautiful friendships.

    I think you, as well as Karm, have been good people in your life, or else you wouldn't be the loving family that you are today. You have been given an amazing gift, and her name is Isabella, and just for that - you can be certain that you my friend are someone many people should and would love to grow up and be just like you!

    Thank you,
    with love, PN
