Mommy

Because even at 27 I'm never to old to call you that

Because there's only 8 of us who can

Because there's really no one I'd rather talk to about life

Because you inspire me to be the woman I'm becoming

Because almost every memory that matters has you in it

Because you set the bar so high

Because you let me vent and offer real solutions

Because even when you don't understand--you try

Because I said it first
