Uncommon Individuals

You know those people that you never question why they are in your life, you just know they are supposed to be there? Well outside of family, those people are pretty rare.  Maybe they have always been there, or maybe they came at an unexpected time, or perhaps the perfect time. Regardless of when, they are there and you can’t really ever stop and point out the moment when they changed you. And when you first meet them, there is so much that you have already gone through that most wouldn’t understand, but it was almost as if they already spoke your language because they had been there once themselves. And with the touch of the hand, a kiss on the cheek, or a smile full of words, they somehow just erase everything that doesn’t matter and make you feel like you’re the only person that does. Most of these people are just ordinary people with extraordinary hearts and souls, walking through life not knowing how staggering and remarkable they really are. And something about them makes you feel like you can be anywhere in the world and still feel at home. Most of the time, these kinds of people go through life feeling like normal beings, living normal lives, when they are far from standard.
Hand-picked and made with me in mind, God placed Cory Sass in my life. Who has not only brought me closer to who I truly am, but closer to God. He’s one of these rare and precious gems that not everyone comes across in their lives. Forever I will hold him close to me and even though I won’t be able to point out when he changed my life, I will know that all that matters is that he did. And I’ll never question why he is in my life; I’ll just know that he’s supposed to be there. Most of all, I will always recognize how rare the kind of person he is and how rare a love like ours is.
