33 Days - Love Is Patient...

"Sometimes our best service to those we love is to simply stand by, be silent, be patient, be hopeful, be understanding, and wait." - Leo Buscaglia

I've seen people I care about, people close to me go down paths of self-destruction... It hurts to watch. It hurts to feel.

The easy path is to write them off. Give up. Let them go their own way.

You can not change them. Change comes only from within yourself.

No, you cannot change me... But you can love me, just as I am - ever patient, ever hopeful, ever loving...

Isn't that what you'd want for yourself if you had on a different pair of shoes?
