AAWWWW... so i read my friends blog and she, like everyone else who watched dawson creek, was touched by what Jen wrote, and i, someone who isnt particularly fawned of her, actually liked what she had to say. so here you have it.

Well, by the time you see this, I won't be here anymore, and I know how much that sucks. For both of us. So, seeing as how I won't be around to throughly annoy you, I thought I would give you a little list of things that I wish for you.

Well, there's the obvious: an education. Family. Friends. And a life that is full of the unexpected.

Be sure to make mistakes. Make a lot of them. Because there's no better way to learn and to grow, all right?

And I want you to spend a lot of time at the ocean, because the ocean forces you to dream and I insist that you, my girl, be a dreamer.

God. I never really believed in God. In fact, I spent a lot of time and energy trying to disprove that God exists. But I hope that you are able to believe in God, because the thing that I've come to realize, sweetheart, is that it just doesn't matter if God exists or not. The important thing is for you to believe in something, and I promise you that that belief will keep you warm at night, and I want you to feel safe always.

And then there's love. I want you to love to the tips of your fingers. And when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it. But you don't have to chase after it, either. You just be patient and it'll come to you, I promise, when you least expect it. Like you. Like spending the best year of my life with the sweetest and the smartest and the most beautiful baby girl in the world. You don't be afraid, sweetheart, and remember to love is to live.

lovely just freakin lovely....
