Dear Maddie

I didn’t cry when you left to work somewhere else. I did for Marcus and for Rick. I hope you know that it’s not at all indicative to how much I care about you. For me it just doesn’t seem like too much of a farewell. I

I loved that you asked me to help your youth kids at the YMCA that one time. I love that you asked me all these beautiful things a year ago in child sister about community and starting your own things. I loved that you helped me out in all the ventures I did.

I didn’t cry and I didn’t think it will be too much of a farewell because I see your fingerprint in every great area of the community. You are there. Your heart is soo present in soo many peoples lives that even just seeing people in new brighton and that community, I can sense your hearts inner workings in them.

A lot of people will talk about how people will change the world. Most of the time it’s just rhetoric. I really truly believe that you will get to do that.

I so believe and trust you in everything that you do.

See you in the streets.

your friend, Allen
