words i've never said
dear mama
thank you; for giving me the best gift in the world (second only to the gift of life).
thank you for teaching me to read. letters that make no sense individually have become words that string into beautiful sentences.
because of the written word, i've been able to unlock new worlds. in these parallel dimensions, i get to fight battles alongside different protagonists, weep at the loss of life; and i've never run out of places to explore.
the precious gift of reading did not come to us without a price. you sacrificed 15 years of your prime; taking a hiatus from the working world. while your friends climbed the corporate ladder you taught us our ABCs. stories filled our days, words became our bread and butter.
i loved trips to the library - we'd sit for hours choosing books (while you tried to stop us from reading the books we had picked out to borrow). then when we got home we read like there was no tomorrow; it was an unspoken race to finish as many as we could.
and for this gift; i am eternally grateful.
