Reasons

This is for those that, by being who they are, inspire me to be better than I am. You know who you are.

You have changed me in a way I don't think even I fully recognize. Because of you, I want to be more...I want to be stronger, to know myself, to have integrity.

You - strong-willed, caring, and fully yourself - are what I want to become. Thank you for the inspiration, for your friendship, for caring. I know you don't really think you're as strong as I say you are, but in what counts, you have an integrity, a completeness, that I have never had. Your experiences have shaped my outlook on life.

Because of you, I want to begin my search for reasons. It will take my whole life, but I'm ready to start.
