Vulnerable

I see the imprint of you in all the things around me.  I realized you have had a great influence of who I am today. 

We have not always arrived at this destination in the classiest of ways.  We have endured a lot and I am a little afraid to walk on my own without you standing next to me.

 I feel weaker without you near me and my confidence is rattled.  I know I must do this on my own, each step, each stride, each increasing length.  I must keep my eyes forward and move toward my new destination. 

I can only hope that at the end I will find you there with arms opened wide...people who care about you support you, they don't tear you down, expose your weaknesses and leave you vulnerable.  I will live...
