Thanks for….
Bringing me cans of mountain dew when I was being a computer geek for days on end.
Keeping me alive by figuring out how to make broccoli awesome.
Not killing dad even when he really got on your nerves.
For putting up with me after it became clear I was going to very nearly be a clone of my dad.
Trying to play GI Joe.
Showing me that nothing is above being made fun of, not even GI Joes with dumb hair.
Showing me that its ok to get seriously pissed and throw crackers.
Putting up with my complete and utter distrust for the entire concept of medicine when I’m sick.
Having my back against the school system.
Teaching me compassion.
Showing me that my emotions matter.
Putting up with my ranting despite the fact that I’ve attacked virtually everything you believe.
Unblinding my bear.
Buying me a house.
Never suffering fools.
Making hunger a mystery for nearly a decade.
King for a day, day.
Monster spray.
Letting me get you a robot for mother’s day.
Showing me that forgetting is not the same as not caring.
Letting me stay in the pool till my hair turned weird colors.
Packman bologna.
Making those “Best mom in the world.” statues mean something.
Letting me stay up late enough to watch star trek for years on end.
Every time you answered to “MOOOOMMMM!”
Waking me up so I can sleep some more.
Letting me open another one early.
Cleaning my room when you wanted it clean instead of making me do it.
Making my casts tolerable.
Letting me ruin your camera.
Getting my knives back from the fascists.
Being the medic for every random friend I ever had.
Putting up with the string of weirdos I exposed you to.
Letting Papaw show me the guns.
The Christmas coupon countdown calendar.
Making it ok to stand up to morons.
Hiding presents for me at random all over the house.
Teaching me optimism.
Providing proof that a mind can be open and strong simultaneously.
Giving me my very best trait, my ethics.
Showing me that I was not a possession or a pet to be trained.
Introducing me to the three best men on the face of the earth, your dad your brother and your husband.
Sorely testing my position that unconditional love is a myth.
I’m speechless, if you can believe that. Thanks for turning into yet another “best man on the face of the earth.” You’re a true gift and I love you . . . unconditionally.

You have such a wonderful ability with words. That’s another thing you can thank her for. The love expressed in your words brought such an emotional flood, I find it difficult to express the pride and deep emotions that you’ve given me.
