Dear Marmie

Thank you for being not only a mother, but a close and kindred friend. Calling you every morning on my way to work provides an inner strength within me to tackle the challenges that await me for the day.

From the very beginning of my most cherished memories
hearing your whistle somewhere in the audience below
as I danced and performed with my dedicated heart,

You have always been there
  
       You have always answered

                      and

 You have always proven your unshaken confidence in me.

Consistent, loyal, and firm you are.

That courage, passion, and vigor of yours instills an awakening within me. In your eyes, I can accomplish anything. May I begin to see as you see.

I love you, Mom.
