Dearest Dexter

I know you’ll cringe at this.
Thank you for your genuine love.
Thank you for holding my hands when things were bumpy and rough.
Thank you for walking with me on my darkest nights, when things seem petrifying, you just hug and say, “It’ll be alright.”
Thank you for accepting me when my mistakes are flagrant, you don’t question or criticize, you just let me learn and grow.
Thank you for allowing me to be who I am, even though things obviously don’t benefit you.
You allow me to find and love myself, even though sometimes, it doesn’t really matter to me.
Thank you for always making the time and for always being at my side, no matter how challenging circumstances are.
Thank you for being you and I am extremely grateful to and for you.
