I had a dimple on the right side of my face that caused me to smile.

From about the time I was 5 years old, I believed I had seen people walk around the room.

I always had an unusual ability to imagine things that did not exist.

I did not understand why others did not see what I saw.

I always wondered why I could not explain what I saw.

I was a high school senior in 1960 when I developed the ability to pick up on peoples emotions.

I did not understand it myself.

One day, I told a high school classmate ...

One day, I told a high school classmate that I was thinking of writing a book about the history of Christmas in America.

He encouraged me to continue with my idea.

Another classmate later became one of my co - authors on The Twelve Days of Christmas: A Celebrations of the Season.

Both of them encouraged me to go to college and pursue my dream.

I finally did.

Once I was accepted into UCLA, I decided to take out student loans.

I was warned about the dangers of being in debt up to my eyeballs, but I had no choice.

I wanted to ...

I wanted to make sure.

Because that was the last thing I wanted her to think.

She needed me.

"I'm good," I finally answered.

She smiled weakly.

"Come on, I'll walk you to your room."

I stood, but she wrapped her arms around me, pulling me in close.

I leaned against her, closing my eyes as she kissed my hair.

When we broke apart, I said, "You didn't have to do that."

"I know."

She pulled away, gripping my shoulders and forcing me to look at her.

"This isn't about me and you.

It's about you and ...

It's about you and it's about me.

It's about you and it's about me.

It's about you and it's about me.

Sometimes it's the bad things that get me through the day.

Sometimes I'm not even sure if I want to get through the day anymore.

But then, I know that I have to.

That I have to make it through this day because that's what I was given the gift of.

That's what I was chosen for.

And I have to make sure that I appreciate that gift everyday.

I know this because I have a baby.

And if she could tell me just ...

Toph!

It's Toph, buddy.

I can't talk, but I can write.

I'm gonna write a letter.

I know you love letters and they can't hurt you, but it would be nice to get a letter from you once in a while.

You were my best friend and you have been gone for almost half a year now.

I miss you terribly, and I just can't imagine life without you.

When I see a shiny rock I always remember how you found your overlord to see if there was a sparkle of Toph inside.

I wish I had

I think i'll stop there, a natural end to the story.

Still makes more sense than /u/Jesus ;)
