Creek Quotes

Hi Amy, it’s mom. Well, by the time you see this, I won’t be here any more, and I know how much that sucks - for both of us. So seeing as how I won’t be around to thoroughly annoy you, I thought I would give you a little list of the things that I wish for you.

Well there’s the obvious: an education, family, friends, and a life that is full of the unexpected.

Be sure to make mistakes; make a lot of them because there’s no better way to learn than to grow, alright?

And I want you to spend a lot of time at the ocean, because the ocean forces you to dream and I insist that you, my girl, be a dreamer.

God. I have never really believed in God. In fact, I’ve spent a lot of time and energy trying to disprove that God exists; but I hope that you are able to believe in God, because the thing that I’ve come to realise, sweetheart, is that it just doesn’t matter if God exists or not. The important thing is for you to believe in something because I promise you that that belief will keep you warm at night and I want you to feel safe always.

And then there’s love. I want you to love to the tips of your fingers and when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don’t run away from it. But you don’t have to chase after it either, you just be patient and it’ll come to you, I promise, and when you least expect it.

Like you. Like spending the best year of my life with the sweetest, and the smartest and the most beautiful baby girl in the world. And you don’t be afraid, sweetheart, and remember: to love is to live.
