That I would be good even if I did nothing
That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
That I would be good if I got and stayed sick
That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

That I would be fine even even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great if I was no longer queen
That I would be grand if I was not all knowing

That I would be loved even when I'm not myself
That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
That I would be loved even when I was fuming
That I would be good even if I was clingy

That I would be good even if I lost sanity
That I would be good
Whether with or without you

- lyrics to my favorite song of all time, That I Would Be Good
by Alanis Morissette

Have a blessed Good Friday.

to my mom...

"If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry,
I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your
pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile.
But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me."

"Love is extravagant in the price it is willing to pay,
the time it is willing to give, the hardships it is willing
to endure, and the strength it is willing to spend. Love doesn't
think in terms of 'how little,' but always in terms of
"how much." Love gives, love knows, and love lasts."
- Author Unknown

I did not take this photo. His father took it on his college graduation day in 2001. This is my favorite photo of him. It sits in a frame on my bedside table. This is him. This is his genuine smile. Ever so slight, with just a hint that at any moment it will be a big smile. This is my husband. Today he turns 30. Happy Birthday, dear.
