After our phone conversation before the crack of dawn, I thought about you and your current situation. I just want you to know that even if things look deplorably untolerable, it won't always be this way.

Often, life deals us situations we don't want. Understand that things beyond your control are not your fault. How can you be blamed for something that happened just like that?

But what we can control is our attitude towards the circumstances.

Do not allow yourself to be defined by one person. The only person who should define you is you. I know this goes beyond a broken heart, but you've always had strength.

It's okay to cry, valid to be hurt, right to be angry. But don't hold those attitudes for long.

Be brave and pick yourself up. It is no use to just stay where you have been felled, remembering the good times. Believe me, opportunities for the heart will come your way. Or you create new ones.

Yes, it's difficult, and perhaps even overwhelming when you look at the carnage. But the wheel does turn - just make sure you're actively on it.

Remember that I love you and will always be here for you.
