My Mom gave me this:
Daughter,
today and always, please know that I see you.
I see the path you've made that's all your own.
I see the many unique talents and gifts you have to share.
I see your brilliance, your enthusiasm,
and how deeply you care and hurt sometimes.
I see your hard-earned wisdom, your soft pure innocence,
your courage and compassion, your unconditional goodness.
I see what a difference you make in this world, and I hope you know how
very much I love you,
and how proud I'll always be to have a daughter as wonderful as you.
