Important is what makes or breaks one in this world today to some, materialistic things are important to others shedding weight is the pursuit of life's happiness to watch the numbers fall as the seasons progress important is family to love, guide, and support you to hold your hand even when the going gets tough to smile even when the tears are clouding your vision of the perfect world you're important to me i feel so selfish, misguided, unappreciative to have had you in my life for as long as i can remember but never have i told you how much i love you how much you mean to be every time i see you to have your admiration, your kindness, your thoughtfulness you have become my aunt through marriage but mean more to me than some of my blood relatives you've seen me through my first day of kindergarten you've been there with me through my awkward elementary years watched me blossom in middle thru high school and finally rode in my dream car the first day i owned it i will never forget that day the sun shining, the wind whipping our hair and your wide grin nothing could top that memory for me today here i stand at the brink of my ultimate reality or would you say fantasy with one crucial link missing YOU being diagnosed with cancer is so painful for the patient but they never help you realize how many small, imaginary lines each of us in this world are linked to i cried so hard for you, for me, and for your sons optimistically, you conveyed your belief that everything would be okay were you being honest or just putting on a strong face for those around you i loved you but never realized just how important you were to the stable world of mine if you were to have to go away today i would wonder what god had in his plan to take away someone whose never fully been able to enjoy the good things in life the person who suffered for a loved one's mistakes but somehow never reached the promised pot of gold i thank god for the sacrifices that you've made or else you wouldn't be in my life if nothing else, i hope to tell you how important you are to me, and my memories of growing up i want to thank you for understanding me better than my mom could sometimes and for loving me like the daughter you never had importance is only dictated by a fleeting moment in time when it comes down to the last tick of the clock where will you stand surrounded by family and friends or holding out for an important raise job promotion or some other materialistic pursuit paradoxically, it's been the thought of losing you, that made me realize just how many things truly aren't important and what really matters |
