30 Day Challenge - Someone I wish could forgive me

Hmmm. I'm having trouble coming up with a post for this. I truely hope that there isn't anyone out there holding a grudge or not able to let go of something I've done in the past that has caused them any pain. If there is anyone out there who feels that way I hope they seek me out to tell me! I don't like unfinished business. I'm sure there are a few people bopping around feeling this way, I'm human and have made mistakes (1 or 2 haha).

30 Day Challenge - Someone who has caused me a lot of pain

Not interested in writing this one. The person who comes to mind is no longer in my life in a direct way so why bother! Life's too short to write letters to people like that :)

Trek Atlas

You may have read my recent post about the family of 5 who are travelling the world with their three children. The Ingram has been telling their story on this blog http://www.oursonnylife.com/

Little Trek passed away Thursday, June 21 in Thailand with his family holding him and singing his favorite songs to him.

I know that I will continuing following their adventure and will think of Trek often, as I have in the past 4 months I have been reading about him and his family.

30 Day Challenge - Someone deceased that I would like to talk to.

Dear Papa Hardy,

I didn't get to know you very well in the 7 years I had with you before you passed away, but I still feel as though you "get me". Not sure how I can explain it, but I just know you understand me and I feel like I understood you and who you were/are. The title of this post is supposed to be directed at someone who I would like to talk to...but I'm cheating a bit because I do talk to you in my head. All the time. Sometimes it's about things that are going on in my life that I need to get off my chest and can be overwhelming but I can't bring myself to say them out loud to anyone right away and sometimes it's about a silly thing one of the girls did or said that day. I don't expect you to answer me back, I can imagine you have quite a few people like me talking to you everyday. You're busy just taking it all in.

Thanks for listening.

30 Day Challenge - Someone I'd like to talk to more

Dear cousins,

I won't name names, but you will know who you are...
Whenever we get together all I do is smile and laugh and think to myself how much I adore you guys!
We don't see each other as often as we would like to because of busy schedules and life in general. I guess that is something that makes our visits so much fun and every time I leave you, I think that we need to start making time for more of those times!

30 Day Challenge - Someone I would like to meet

I've been thinking about this for a few days now. I've gone back and forth between political figures, movie stars, musicians, I've even considered the bloody Kardashion's for goodness sakes (but only for Scott Disick because I think he is frickin hilarious). I can't think of just one person I'm DYING to meet. But, there are a group of people who I get asked about probably 2-3 times a week. I've decided that is who I'm going to choose.

Ahem.

Dear Hardy's from Gabarus,

Are we related? I don't even really know? I usually say "no" to someone when they ask me if I'm a "Gabarus Hardy" or I say something like "oh probably from WAY back". Its so confusing. I just want to be a Hardy from Westmount but people in CB want me to be from Gabarus. I'd like to meet you to help me decide if I should just play along and say that yes, in fact, I am a Gabarus Hardy and I'm damn proud of it.

30 Day Challenge - Dear Internet Friend

This lady isn't exactly a friend, but I feel as though I know her through her beauitful heartfelt blog. I've been following her story for quite some time now and it's the most raw, sweet and heart wrenching tale. Her blog address is http://www.oursonnylife.com/ (I also have it on my blog list on the side of my page).

Her name is Chelsea Ingram. She and her husband and their three young boys have set out on a magical adventure travelling the world. Their youngest, Trek, is 13 months and was diagnosed with Neimann Pick Type A. Its a rare genetic disorder and is terminal. This family has recognized that they don't have much time left as a family of five and they are embracing life. Where most parents would curl up in the fetal position and accept defeat, Chelsea and Jarett have made the decision that they are going to make the rest of Trek's life the happiest, free living, and most comfortable time for him. I never know if I'm going to be laughing or crying when she posts a new entry.

I feel connected to them now.

Check out her blog, you won't be dissapointed.

So....
Dear Chelsea,

You will never know how much I admire you. Your strength amazes me. Peyton, Conner and Trek are so beautiful it almost hurts to look at them. Thank you for sharing your story.

30 Day Challenge - Dear Ex

Dear Ex,

I wish you all well and hope you are as happy and satisfied in your life as I am in mine!

30 Day Challenge - Dear Stranger

Dear Stranger,

Maybe it's the Cape Bretoner in me but I like you so much better if you would smile back at me when I pass by. And to be fair, most of you do!

Thanks,
Sheena

30 Day Challenge - Dear Dreams

Dear dreams,

The other night you really freaked me out.
Please leave the vampire version of Matt Damon out of my brain next time.


Thanks,
Sheena

30 Day Challenge - Dear Sibling

Dear sister,

I have so many funny, happy memories that come to mind when I think of you, I can't possibly narrow it down to just a few. Even though technically you are the "little" sister, in many ways, you are the "big" sister too! I usually get my best advice from you and you are one of the few that can talk me through a freak out and get me to see things more clearly. After you let me vent to you, I always feel so much better!
Thank you for that, and also for giving me a nephew who is the most beautiful little boy the THE WORLD!

30 Day Challenge - Dear Parents

Dear Mom and Dad,

You guys are the best! Thank you for being behind me every step of the way. I can't remember a time in my life when I couldn't count on you. You have helped me conquer many things and accomplish many goals. I wouldn't be as satisfied and happy as I am today, without you. You both taught me what it was like to be a present parent. i know that you are two big reasons why Rhyan is as lovely, smart and kind as she is today.

30 Day Challenge - Dear Crush

sigh.

Dear Crush:

I love all your movies, but I can't be sure if it's because of the acting or not.  I think it's so cool that your brother was a New Kid on the Block. I still like you better though. You are my second favorite "Mark" in the whole entire world!

30 Day Challenge - Best Friend Letter

I don't just have one best friend. I have a few. Although they are each different in their own ways, just like our relationships differ I feel the same about each one.

Dear Best Friend(s)

Thank you for laughing with me, getting into trouble with me, sticking up for me, including me in your families and helping me become who I am today. I will love you forever and ever. You have at least one quality, if not more, that I strive to develop within myself.

Thank you for having my back and making sure I know it.
