You know my many confusing thoughts and problems with religion. You know that I am one of the many lukewarm Catholics... even cold sometimes. You know that you and I can butt heads like nothing else in our ever so popular 2:00am conversations.
You know what else though? You being Catholic is a part of you that I love. When I first had issues with religion, you were the first person I thought of to talk to. You were the first person I did talk to. I love the fact that you are, and always have been, so dedicated to your faith. It is something that I can not find in myself, and admire greatly in others. I may never agree with what you have to say on certain things. You and I may always be at opposite ends of the religion pole. But that doesn't matter. I still always look for your opinion and your viewpoint. In a manner of speaking, by talking to someone who feels differently than I do, it's a way of making sure I really feel the way I do. ... if that makes any sense at all.
If everyone was exactly the same... wouldn't life be pretty damn boring?
Be yourself Andrew. It's the best you you can possibly be. It's the you that we all know and love. Even if we have different opinions or beliefs, I know I definately respect everything that you stand for.
::rereads:: ... hmmm... I hope that didn't sound to terribly like a pep talk... ::shrugs:: I'll live. ;-)
