For My Mom

This last month would have been unbearable were it not for your gentle guiding hand and your daily words of inspiration. You remind me every day of my value and worth in this world, and you never let me forget that I can do anything, be anything, even if I don't believe it myself right now, you do. You calm my spirit when I am anxious. You comfort me in sadness. You made me understand that I don't need to see the big picture, that it's okay not to have all the answers right now, this second. Be patient...you say...because you will see that in time everything you are dreaming of will come to you. Your best years are yet to come, they are right in front of you

Thank you for my life. Thank you for knowing when to give me tough love and when to save me. Thank you for your unwavering support throughout my crazy life. Thank you for laughter and silliness. Thank you for teaching me about etiquette, sophistication, and how to enter a room. I am who I am because of what you've taught me and because I am yours. Somewhere along the timeline of my life I think part of me forgot that. Thank you for letting me be me. You are my touchstone, you always have been. 

I love you.
