I'm a student and a mother and a wife.
I'm a dreamer and a pragmatist.
I'm a nurturer; a healer.
When I need healing, I wash dishes and cry.
I thrive on lists and schedules, but I've never done well being told what to do.
I read, question, and try to see the best in everything.
I melt into music and photographs; I stiffen at duplicity and arrogance.
I cook passionately,
bake haphazardly,
love unconditionally,
argue fiercely,
sing badly,
dance awkwardly.
I weep for Julia.
And all the lostbabies.
Once in a while, I choose altruism to relieve guilt and emptiness.
Most of the time, because it's simply the right thing to do.
With my blessed child in the cosmos, I pumped and gave her milk to another.
It was simply the right thing to do.
Every day I take my vitamins, eat my vegetables, cry a bit, laugh a little bit more, play with my dogs, cuddle my cats, love my husband, and grieve my first daughter. Every day I feel deep hope and faith that my second will arrive to us safely and outlive us all, many decades down our road.
I try to be better, as a wife, because love makes you want to. I leave the cap off the toothpaste and don't always have dinner ready, but I leave his slippers by the door and folded pajamas in the bathroom. Sometimes I'm too honest, but I'd trade my happiness to bear his suffering.
I try to be better, as a mother. Sometimes I yell and lose patience with the dogs, and I curse loudly in Spanish when the oven burns me (which is often). But, my heart is soft. It's open, and pliable, and always growing, and I am quick to forgive and eager to make peace. I give good hugs and am a great storyteller.
I'm all of these things; sometimes more, sometimes less, never perfect, always earnest.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never ever the same."
