I looked up at a star that was far, far away and I realized that there were so many people in my life that loved me enough to be transparent in front of me. I loved that.
I was thinking about my Grandma Monica, as I often do. I saw that I can see her personality clearly and I don't need a book about her to have loved her, like I do.
I was thinking about each of my children and how I want them to love me, at least as much as I loved her. It takes courage to place your heart in front of people and show them the real you. I often squint in pain, knowing that your transparency is going to be attacked in the public forum of our family dynamic. But, you still do it and you take the blows, with great adeptness. You know the blows will come and you still keep yourself transparent.
I hope you stay that way. I love you!
