"November, the month where everyone is so THANKFUL for their lives, and in every aspect. But, I get to be THANKFUL everyday I open my eyes because [Pat Killian] you helped me, and didn't have to. [Pat Killian] You are my hero - I can only hope I can be half of the hero you are in my Social Work journey."  

Above is what I wrote in the card below to my hero, Pat Killian. The man that I will never forget. Almost five years later, and look where I am at. This isn't where I thought, nor any professional that helped me thought, I would be. Even though it has been a long journey, and continues to be a daily struggle, I am thankful that I have turned out the way I have turned out. I'm even more thankful for the fact that I am alive, and will only continue to progress. I only have one person to thank today for that, and it is Mr. Pat Killian.   

Lovely

We discuss hot topics - more than just the weather.
He makes me laugh - more than any other.
He wears rose colored glasses, and see's the world through them.
Not only does he make me happy, but it's as though he knows my soul.
He has goals, and aspirations. He has dreams and plans to follow them.

It's funny how this even happened. 

 A boy you teased and joked with fell in love with you.

He now kisses you before bed, 

teases you,

jokes with you,

makes you happy,

helps you to have faith in humanity once more.

 Proving to you that you need to follow your dreams.

That you need to follow your heart. 

Thank You.

I think you could fall in love with anyone if you got to see the parts of them no one else gets to see. Like if you followed them around for a day and saw them crying in their bed, or singing to themselves as they make a sandwich. I think, after seeing them at their most vulnerable, you wouldn't be able to help falling in love with them. <3
