Your laugh
Your strength
Your gift of being able to stand tough and lay it all on the line for my daughter and others like her
Your passion for what you do, the women you empower, the safe net you provide
Your ability to stand in fear and take one step forward when your heart tells you to retreat
Your courage to contemplate trying again, though 3 times you have been let down.
The way you educate your daughter, helping her focus on her strengths
The way you lobby for your son, who is thriving, because of you. I am in love and awe of you. I am blessed to have witnessed these moments in my life.

Sandal
It's OK to let go
To live life for awhile fading into to background without the stress of having to know answers black and white, for I find as hard as I search for these perfect situations they 100% do not exist. I am not perfect and truly hope I am.not picked apart this way and rather seen as whole, and I hope my goodness outweighs my bad. The problem with generally living life in this non engaging manner is no solid connections are made because I am searching for that one perfect situation. After 44 years I am pretty damned sure my perfect utopia does not exist. Truthfully, by now I should know that life does not shit flowers so I should probably throw in the towel on this, get my hands a bit dirty and dive in deeper to the aspects of my circumstances I am unsure of, regardless of their differences. I may come up gasping for air and even missing a sandal in the process, but I'll choose that over another day on the sidelines any day.
