Dear Kat,<\/p>\n
Soon you will be hearing better than ever!
\nYour doctors have exciting new tools to restore what you’ve lost.
\nYou will be first among teens who receive microscopic surgery,
\nThey will build you a new eardrum with a vein!
\nFamously speaking, You will be in a book -may be more than once.
\nIt will be a long road with ups and downs along the way.
\nMusic will be as important to you as the Art you create now.
\nYou will one day overcome all the troubles you seem to find.
\nThere’s a world out there
\nWonderful and happy \u2013it waits for you.
\nKeep drawing, keep writing,
\nKeep your friends in your heart
\nThough you may be far away.
\nThere is one whose life you will
\nTouch many important times,
\nDestiny declares you will be
\nThe missionary you dream of
\nBut not the way you dream.
\nRather, in a very special way, helping others heal.
\nYou don’t know it now, but you have what it takes to be used by God.
\nHe has a plan and a purpose for you; it may not be what you think.
\nHe will need to make some changes you won’t understand for many years;
\nDon’t get discouraged, don’t let other’s opinions
\ncause you tears…
\nYou know who you can believe.
\nThere is much I want to say
\nBut you are not prepared for that.
\nJust know you are loved by many
\nTreasured by a few.
\nSaved by one.
\nHis name is Jesus.<\/p>\n
Lovingly your much older self,
