I'm sending you a big
Independence Day hug,
because I wanted to reach out across
the miles and make you smile.
I want you to know that I appreciate you,
and I'll be thinking about you
and wishing the best for you
when fireworks light up the sky.
Thank you for always being there for me,
and for sharing with me.
