A girl becomes unmotivated.<\/p>\n

Maybe sad even.<\/p>\n

And she needs a hug here and there<\/p>\n

Even an e-hug would do.<\/p>\n

She needs to hear that it will be alright<\/p>\n

That this, too, will pass.<\/p>\n

She needs to be told that it’s not her fault<\/p>\n

And that these things do happen.<\/p>\n

A girl wants to be spoiled<\/p>\n

She wants to be spoiled rotten<\/p>\n

She wants to be bad and be rewarded for it<\/p>\n

She needs to be given attention<\/p>\n

She needs to be listened to<\/p>\n

Really listened to<\/p>\n

And laughed with.<\/p>\n

And prayed with.<\/p>\n

And, of course, played with.<\/p>\n

But a girl is always, always grateful to everyone who has called, e-mailed, texted, and checked up on her – one way or another.  She’s very grateful for all the encouraging words that have given her hope, for the humorous words that have her laughing at ungodly hours of the night, and for the commitment.   <\/p>\n
