My commitment to you:
I will keep growing.
I will not become content to live in stagnation,
not moving forward
simply existing.
I will acknowledge my flaws.
I will say I'm sorry.
I will seek healing for that which is wrong in me.
I will not allow my good intentions
to become abstract concepts
that evaporate in the wind.
Because you are worthy.

I always knew you'd be a good mom.
when you accidentally pulled my arm out of my socket and cried about it(and get teary eyed when i mention it.
then theres all those times you took yoli and i to art institute and taught me about crazy spanish painters who's insanity created amazing art, and about the painter obsessed with fat people.
you taught me about Picasso and why the old guitarist is such a cool painting.
you went on field trips with me in the 5th grade and let me stay with you during my spring break when i was in 3rd grade.
you bought me soccer socks when i was in that "weird stage" and introduced me to thai food and cool places in the north side.
you went to all my choir concerts and introduced me to the wonderful world of ikea.
You set a great example for us by being the best older sister, showing us that we can do anything we wanted to do, always strive for the best.
and of course, you never sugar coated anything...you always told me things the way they were...its because of you that i know about the real thanksgiving...i know this land is not my land...and that im not anyone's panic.
you're a great mother.
Only you can make me cry (and yes, I did get teary eyed when you mentined the socket thing) and laugh at the same time.
wow-- both your post and Steph's comment were worth re-reading.
