A promise to myself...

I will be the best ...
I will be the best mom...
I will be the best wife...
I will be the best woman...
I will be the best person...
I will be the best nurse...
I will be the best friend...
That I can be.

I will be the best me.

I can't promise to be the best ever, the most I can do is promise to be the best ME that I can be. I can't be perfect, I can only be and will only ever be perfectly imperfect. If you love me, it the flaws and the fight that you love. You will love my little "frustrated" face that my husband adores so much. You will love me despite of and because of my inborn fear of being late- knowing that though I chastise you for running late, I will always be early- and will be there whnever you need me. You will love me because I demand the best of you and everyone else. You will appreciate that I never expect you to always be right, but I expect you to have reason for your actions. You will love me because even though we don't always agree I challenge why you feel what you feel; and will call you on your bullshit. You will love me because I demand loyalty, even if you aren't always loyal to me. You will love me because I hold honesty close to my heart, even though there are times you just don't want to hear the truth. Because you love me, you will pay me the same respect- you will always be honest.

Above all, because you love me you understand that my fierce loyalty will lead me to love you with all that I am- and you will know that because I love you, I will not let anyone ever hurt you.
