Dear Kathryn,

Dear Kathryn,

A Story by Kathryn Smith

If it's the first thing you remember: All the little things you miss...

It'll be just like you were never gone



My dearest Kathryn,

This is a letter to you from your heart.

Read carefully…and for the love of God woman, just listen to me already!

Seriously.

You keep over thinking things and over analyzing things…

Stop.

Just keep reading…

As you know, I am home in Killarney! (Sorry to rub that in your face..but I had to! Haha!)

In all fairness I want you to remember that just because I’m miles away doesn’t mean you’re heartless.

I’m in good care I promise! (And you know it.)

I think it’s time you stop being so hard on yourself.

Stop dwelling on the past.

Yes. Your friend died.

Yes. You were in a car crash.

It's time to move on. Those chapters ended a long time ago.

You are stronger than you think!

I know the bricks that are being thrown at you are the worst…

But you know what? There’s only one thing you can do.

Build a castle!

Learn from your mistakes. Befriend your mind. Why did you make her so cruel!?

It’s only going to get better! Trust me on this one! I know things you don’t know yet.

When you come back to get me, I must warn you…you really aren't going to want to go back to Wisconsin.

I strongly advise you to do what I did, and stick around Ireland for a while longer.

There are people who would love it if you stayed!

You know exactly who they are. (Especially a certain someone who loves you, but like you, is equally scared.)

The things we hearts have to do for you silly humans!

Keep following me and everything you ever dreamed of just might come true.

Take a deep breath girl!

The things you're feeling?

Trust them. It's as simple as that.

You're the only person who has the ability to truly listen to me.

Don't let anyone tell you that you cant.

If you stay in your shell...all the things that are supposed to happen will not.

So go ahead my dear! Take that leap of faith that you've been itching to take.

You’re going to be very pleasantly surprised with what’s around the corner Kathryn!

It is going to be grand.

Now go to sleep!



Love Always,

Your Heart

PS Thanks for leaving me in Killarney.

You did the right thing.  Cant wait to see you again!
