A letter (written)
Dear Sunshine,
[*snicker* Yes. Hit me. Please. I know you hate that nickname.] I'm feeling particularly blessed this morning. You're my friend. I'm overwhelmed by all that entails.
You show up for major holidays. Every now and then, if I weren't the one keeping us in contact, you'd make sure we were all there and OK. Even though you enjoy your solitude, you let me tag along with you for certain movies. If I'm feeling horrible and you hear me while I'm feeling horrible, you make sure I'm feeling all right again before you let me go. If I'm beating up on myself, you clobber me over the head until I stop. You allow me to hug you, if I don't get too carried away. Since you don't tend to hug outside your family... You delight in making me smile. You clobber me over the head until I do smile, and then you light up with a grin that is, if possible, bigger than mine. (Yes. I did notice.) You crack insane jokes that are just the right kind to make me laugh.
You can match my energy pattern when you're recharging me. I've never known anyone else able to do that, much less recharge me with what feels like my own energy without me even noticing. You don't set off my defenses. I know you would never harm me, though I do flinch when I anticipate that you might hurt me (nerve pinches do hurt, even though I've gotten very good at pretending they don't).
You make me smile, Fire, and when you smile back at me, you're warm and bright. Sunshine really is a good name for you...
Yours,
Joanie
