I'm talking to the...
I'm dedicating it to Hans, my first cactus
Family and friends
To my mother
and to my family
To Texas!
I went there for college, and it was just a huge growing experience for me I learned
a lot about myself.
To my dad! He was the man who made the most difference in my life and he was so
different from me.
I'm dedicating my flower to my son Ben
and his new bride, Anna
He is the one that spurred me to go back to school
I started classes just with a yellow pad and pencil
and I walked into the classroom everyone else
was a good thirty to forty years younger they had laptops
I felt so out of my element
something that I've grown to be grateful for
Um I definitely didn't appreciate my parents as much until I went to college and i couldn't
just go
like lean on my mom when I needed a hug or something
I've grown to be grateful for
My dads really funny phrases
He says this like everything is perfect all the time
so just especially these past few years I've been realizing that its totally true
probably um, just being a single mom every day is a challenge
but it's so worth it I wouldn't change anything
I have helped a lot of gay kids discover that they love themselves
and that life is actually worth living.
I remember my dad would always tell me,
the people that you love are just as important as you are so remember
to love them as well as you can because it's the only thing that really matters.
Oh boy, Umm...
Everyone thinks that,
You could have a baby.
But, sorry
I couldn't, but as a result, I have a son
who is probably more precious than
anything I could have naturally given birth to
so, I think what I'm most grateful
for and something that never dawned on me
um, if you don't give up
On anything that you truly want
you're set.
Amy, you want to help me plant this, okay!
Let's go!
