the best gift i ever could or have received is my mother's pride. knowing she's bursting with it, about me, and telling her friends with a puffed chest makes me the happiest. it's better than any piece or token bought. feeling like i have made them happy, proud, fulfilled their beliefs in me, it makes me feel like i did my job as daughter. providing the truth to their ruthless and soaring belief in me, that i can do everything i dream of doing. i'm pretty lucky to have parents that are behind me and lift me up so much. they really are my biggest fans and cheerleaders as cliche as that cliche is, it's true. i'm sorry it has taken me until now to realize how lucky i am. is it weird that my family has become my team, my best friends?
"love love is going to lead you by the hand." love has always led me by the hand, gave me the nudge and courage and then the push out to do it, and the backing off so i can do it myself and the proud happy voice on the other end of the phone saying "i knew you could. I've known you're great all along, now other people will know too."
making them happy makes me happy
