I know this is difficult for you, and I’m sorry.

I know this isn’t what you thought your life would look like.
It’s okay to grieve over that if you need to.

Here are some
flowers I got
a card I made
candy I picked up
because I was thinking of you.

I think it’s beautiful how you live out your singleness so faithfully.

I’m so happy you’re here.
You belong with us.
You are seen.
You matter.
I love you.
