Before we do anything, this is what you need to know.
\nThis is my dad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And he jumped out of the window when he was a child.<\/p>\n

Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled love letter.<\/p>\n

Last week, I received so many touching and heartfelt \u00a0responses to my Letter To My 14-Year Old Self<\/a>. But one of them….wow. It was so special. I have kind permission from the writer to share part of his reaction with you.<\/p>\n

“You might not remember this, but I think approx 2,5 years ago, you wrote a blog about being brave, going strong, trusting in yourself and related to this with a story about (I think it was) your father which jumped out of the window with a bath towel strapped to his back thinking he was superman… I used to be this guy and could completely relate to that! At the time you wrote this blog I had lost myself in some serious shit. I was recovering from medical issue called a “brain-infarct” (don’t know the exact English term) causing severe memory-loss-effects and which should not occur at the age of 40. As I could not trust in myself, therefore I closed-up more than one should in such a case. In short, I was seeing a therapist to get through this shit.\u00a0My therapist was trying to get a hold of the “real” issue in all of this and the best way for me to explain who I really WAS, was to read out the story about your dad and explain to her that “that is, or used to be me, and I would like to get back to this person….”
\nThe therapist and I have worked extremely hard for over 2 years (on a weekly base) and I have ended my therapy with the phrase that I am (imagining) to put a BIG beach-towel to my back and jump out of the window…\u00a0I AM BACK!<\/strong>\u00a0MY MEMORY IS “WORKING” -IT’S ME AGAIN!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why am I sending this to you? Well this is because of the blog of today where you mentioned you would like to send a message to yourself at the age of 14… Just a confirmation on your text there “You will make a difference in other people’s lives.\u00a0You will matter.\u00a0You will heal hearts, mend minds, and stir souls.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Guess what Buffi,\u00a0YOU DID.\u00a0<\/strong>The story has given me a firm goal for where to fight for. And it helped out!<\/p>\n

THANKS FOR THAT!!”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

After I dried my tears, I wrote this special person to ask if I could share this with my dad, and the rest of you. I could. My dad was so touched by his kind and powerful words, he encouraged the writer to keep going strong. KEEP IT UP, HONEY!! (From both of us!)<\/p>\n

This is why I write. To build bridges. To inspire. To connect. To learn. To teach. To share.<\/p>\n

Why did my dad jump?
\nBecause he didn’t know he couldn’t.
\nRead the original story hier<\/a>.
\nNow go jump.
\nWrite.
\nShare.
\nConnect.<\/p>\n

With so much love,
\nBuffi x<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
