I thank you for being there for me every night, I thank you for taking care of me with compassion while I was not only sick but ill. I thank you for putting up with my sharp tong and my telenovela tantrums. I thank you for loving me even when I don't know how to love myself. I thank you for sleeping with me and loving me even when I felt so bad and low that I didn't think I needed a shower that day. I thank you for providing for me and my daughter while I am taking a six year break from earning a real income and working at finding myself. I thank you for allowing me to demand from you what I am suppose to provide for myself. I thank you for overlooking the mess around me that I don't feel like cleaning up. I thank you for allowing me to look you down when I know I am wrong. I just want to thank you, instead of criticizing you or taking my anger out on you, tonight I think I should just thank you. Thank you for accepting me just as I am, that is what real love is.
For holding my hand when the sea was too rough in Hawaii, or just here next door in Laguna, I do need you and I do appreciate your strength disguised as a sweet low voice. I hope I can change my ways and work hard and clean and have an approving smile for you always. I hope I can be of support for you, I hope I can provide for us to go far and enjoy our company. I hope we can live a peaceful and happy existence someday somewhere. Maybe it can be done today.
