SPECIAL MESSAGE TO OUR FRIEND.

 Dear Robyn Walker , this is a note from RASYN children.
Thank you for always being closest to RASYN even when we are in separate time zones and separate stages of life. Thank you for not letting us get split by dumb facts like distance or time. Thank you for never giving up on our friendship, support, prayers for never shrugging and being like “Eh, things change, people change” and drifting away vaguely because we’re victims of circumstance.

Thank you for taking care of RASYN ministry in every way possible, for being there when no one else was or wanted to be and when you didn’t even have to be. Everyone has those friends who are close but not really; who you always feel kind of awkward and weird about asking for help and like you have to clarify you’ll do them some kind of favor in return, but you’re not one of those. You never got mad when we didn’t call you for weeks on end because we were too busy .

Thank you for being a different friend than everyone else, different from the friends who are only there for the fun things, the art museums and shopping and benders and brunch. Thank you for always being fun even when we’re not having fun. I don’t know how else to explain that.

Thank you for believing in RASYN when we were too weak and exhausted to believe in our self. Thank you for pushing us, for repeating those affirmations that don’t mean anything in inspirational films but mean everything when someone who cares about you says them. Thank you for not judging us when we did something really stupid. Thank you for always being honest.

Thank you for doing all the things a real best friend does; for letting us sob into your shoulder when we need to and handing us the flask when there aren’t any more words. Thank you for always knowing who we are and reminding us of that when we forget. Thank you for being genuinely concerned with the outcome of my life and always listening, even when you’re tired. Thank you for telling us the things no one wants to hear and sparing the bullshit advice. We can’t think of many other people I’d actually take a bullet for.
Love always,
Your RASYN Children.
