"Future Summer," by Summer Dawn

To Future Summer, 

Your life has been one of the most bumpyest paths, but you must let this give you the push to succeed. Not using it as a crutch to find excuses not to push forward, find a way to reconnect with your children, and what few family members you have. This will allow you to find the identity achievements you have so aimlessly been searching for. 

You took family into your own hands when you married Michael and became Mrs. Ritchie. Creating your own family network, love him with your whole heart and trust in it being though. 

Finding friends and the convoy of such has been something you have built walls so high in your life to avoid being hurt. I understand this fully, but its time you find new trust in others and tearTown those walls and create new friendly ships in life. Find that center and peace wall follow. 

That romantic relationship you now have is how you will be sure to have closure in sharing your everything with Michael. Never stop growing in that relationship and let that be the proof you need to grow in all your relationship in Life. Family, friends, and all of the above. 

I know you are in fear of no one remembering you, but this should not be in fear at all. You have already found the one thing that no matter what you'll leave behind as your legacy. I have seen it first hand, because everyday not only yourself but you teach every youngster you come across to ask a question you didn't know the answer to the day before, so I believe whole heartedly aspirations set in stone. Good for you.

All that you have endured, good, bad, and indifferent is what will give you the ability to use those to impact lives by sharing and giving your wisdom as freely as anyone will allow you to. 

The education you have earned and worked so hard for for so long shows. Even so far back as second grade when you had teachers telling your caregivers due to your learning disabilities you would never graduate. Only get a certificate of completion. You did it, who cares you were almost 20 when you walked across that stage you home schooled yourself and got that high school diploma. Add you didn't stop there you continued that learning and got a to be come more educated everyday Scollege degree. You kept pushing and learning to become more educated every day. 

You gave yourself all the tools to have a career. You use that to encourage younger generation with learning disabilities and showed them it is possible your a hero, and never forget that. You’re a hero, and never forget that. 

The biggest lifestyle change you made in your life was finding the confidence to overcome your addiction and Live Sober. Tearing that was scary and one of the most rewarding things you ever did. It created what I like to think of as the butterfly effect: Changing that one major fault let all the rest of life fall into place to be rewarded with happiness and success. 

Now you can travel and see all the places you only ever dreamed about "funny how finding Peace in all these areas of life gave give yourself the personal reward you always wanted in seeing the world, 

So let's talk about personal growth, go ahead and pat yourself on the back. No, really, go ahead…I’ll wait…. Never be ashamed that you are now able to go say you're proud of yourself. The biggest thing you have done is team to love yourself, wow that feels nice, yeah? Spiritual understanding and the relationship you have built with God is the most important privilege you over have given yourself. Growing in your faith is something that never has to stop. You can be at peace knowing your life here in this fleshly body is just the practice you need to live on in eternal life in in Heaven. Not fearing death, and because you have done exactly what you have done exactly what God has wanted you to do in sharing the love he has taught you and gave you you don't have to be afraid for the ones you leave behind. You'll all one day be at home in the Kingdom of Heaven again one day. God bless you Future me. I love you. 

You have lived a healthy life giving you your plan in extending life.

You'll always be remembered and never forgotten. Now, always, and forever. You’ll never be alone when you are your own #1 fan. 

You found the peace you deserve. 

Love,  

Little ol’ You Summer Dawn
